Still being very sensible and protecting the foot. So the training will get harder as we move into the plan. There’s potentially scope for a bit extra at the weekend. Maybe some time on the elliptical or an extra 30 mins run. If there is any foot pain I think the cross training is a safer play. Keep the strides sensible too as well, no need to be going “eye balls out” with them right now as they could cause a problem. Any issues let me know.

All done. Foot hurting towards the end which is annoying, I’ll keep an eye on it and maybe switch Wednesday’s run to a cross training session? What I really need is some nice soft ground to run on but don’t think there will be much of that this week 😕
That’s a big day of training, so not overly surprised the foot is hurting a bit. There’s often a way. I’ll drop you a link to one of my long runs when I had foot pain. Did this 3 or 4 times in the past and actually helped with the recovery. Also builds mental strength. So this often a way if you are determined enough. Excellent work today though.

Took the podiatrist’s advice and went back to wearing my carbon plate trainers to reduce pressure on the foot. Thankfully they got muddy quickly so I didn’t look like too much of a twat doing a 60 min easy run in carbon plates 👍🏻
😂 If they help then why not. Can normally pick them up quite cheap these days as well. Just got a new pair of Vaporfly 3s (which I’m saving for my next fast marathon, hopefully this Autumn) for £115. Silly not to take the experts advice as well, hopefully it helps the foot. Well done Lucy.

123 mins. Wind! Rain! Mud! Got a bit lost in the woods! Very dramatic, 10/10 👌🏻
Sounds like we have an ultra in the making. Well done for getting this done Lucy, weather has been a real dick in the past few days. Extra point for the additional 3 mins 💪

Lucy's S&C

Progessions: RDL 37.5 Bent over row 16 Goblet squat 15 Calf raises 25 Plank 3x 60s All these are total weights by the way so RDL was 15kg bar plus 11.25 on each side. Strength training is good for maths isn’t it??
Some seriously good weights in there. All I would say is never be in a hurry to increase the weights. Last week I picked up 16kgs for my Farmers Walk cos the 12 wasn’t available. Wrecked my shoulder, hoping I’ll be ok from Monday, but lesson learned to only up the weights when confident they are definitely too easy. We want to be doing this kind of strength work for the next 20 years if possible. Great work though Lucy! Very impressed. If you hadn’t already realised I love numbers, hence the whole pts system approach to training.

65 mins very easy and chatty extra run, hopefully will get away with it!
No worries. I’ll always message and we can tweak things if need be. Too good an opportunity to pass up really.
