Some good sessions this week. Tuesday is one of my favourites, but it’s tough, so the idea is to almost run it at easy pace to start, let the hills make it challenging (if you do join us). But it will definitely build up some strength. A progression run at parkrun can be great fun if you get it right as you tear through the field, especially the 2nd half and it can feel good to overtake loads of people. Then we’ve got the long easy paced miles Sunday as we build the endurance. Any problems let me know. Happy New Year Chris.

Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.

Focus on effort level rather than pace or heart rate as both will fluctuate depending if you are going up or down the hill

Solo effort. Started with training readiness at 1%. My recovery time was supposed to be around 90hrs after Sunday. Not quite sure whatโ€™s going on with my watch / heart but feel ok. Watch says Iโ€™m overtraining
I think if we are going to take heart rate and the watch seriously we need an external device. So chest strap or arm strap to get more accurate data. I tend to base it off how I feel personally. The fact you were still able to do this session and really well done for that, some excellent elevation, suggest the watch is playing silly buggers. But yes, that is quite a quick turnaround from Sunday, but sometimes working hard when we feel tired can help, ultimately that’s what we are going to have to do on race day in the last section of the marathon, so it’s good preparation. Well done Chris.

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Well done Chris. Is your watch still saying 1% body battery? Wow.

Done. Back started to hurt when I got to 4:40 pace
That back. Keep stretching and hopefully it will begin to behave itself soon. But well done on the session. Always tough to go through the gears but also nice variety to a normal one paced run. Great job Chris.

Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.

Done – 146mins. Ran to seafront solo to meet Cathy for 17km. Stunning day. No back issues . Really enjoyed the run
It was a beautiful day wasn’t it. I managed to get out for a long walk. So pleased with this run and first time we’ve got that distance up and over half marathon. Hopefully a real confidence boost heading into the new few weeks of this plan. Great work Chris!!
