Choose Day👇

There are some options this week as we have the NYD parkrun if you wanted to do that at a effort. But the sessions in the plan are really good ones and my first thought when I started adding the schedule this week was “Ben’s getting fitter this week”. If it were me I’d be looking at that Sunday run and thinking, how can I incorporate that into one of the two parkruns. If that is a possibility then it try that. Even if it means doing 2 x 3 miles rather than 3-2-1 and adding an extra mile on the CD. Let me know. Options are there, but those two sessions currently set, along with ASPT makes for a really good week. Happy New Year Ben.

Very hard work, but good fun again! This again showed the progress that has been made, as able to push, even towards the end of the session.
A brilliant session Ben. Especially two days after a race. To be able to keep tabs on Lindsey and Patrick shows how well you are doing. They are in the 22s for 5k right now.

60 Mins Run

18 POINTS

First Orienteering Event since the incident!🩼🤕 Survived it without any injuries! Did the longest course available, but turns out that this was still only 4.5 miles, even with a few wrong turns! My time was 48 mins, although only 45 mins moving according to Strava. Came 18th out of 27 if you interested in that, so room for improvement, although probably a lot more room for improving my navigation rather than my running! Good fun! I will make up the difference on my next run.
I always picture orienteering as walking. But then I saw your pace and obviously that instantly changed my mind. And the fact you finished 18th out of 27 suggest some of the others are moving pretty quickly. You’ll need to explain it to me more one day, so I get a full understanding. It’s in working out directions on the go? I’m just glad you didn’t get injured. I’ll credit points as if it were a 45 min run though, seems fair 😉

50 Mins Run

15 POINTS

After not getting back to Hastings until after midnight following our ABBA escapades, (Not sure if I should ask for a point or two for our failed attempt to run from the ABBA Arena to Stratford International to catch an earlier train! 😂) I didn’t wake up in time for Parkrun, but still got this done this morning, and included the extra 15 mins from Thursday. Still a bit icy in places, but was very careful to avoid any issues. 👍
Great work Ben. I hope you had a great time watching Abba Voyage. Well done for getting out there this morning and thank you for adding the extra 15 mins as well. It does make a difference.

3-2-1 Miles HM

38 POINTS

When I looked at the forecast with ‘feels like’ -8c I was not really wanting to do this morning, but it was not nearly as bad as I was dreading. Managed to up the pace for the HM pace bits, although probably should have been a bit quicker. Legs felt quite heavy though after a busy few days and over an hour yesterday. Was with the 2 hour group, which is why the final easy period was an extra mile or two. 1:57 in total.
Well done Ben, yeah conditions were always going to make it a little tricky for a session like this. So don’t worry too much if the pace was a fraction off. The extra few miles will have made up for that. Another good session ticked off though.
