Light week to rest up ahead of the weekend BYO Session. I’ve stuck that in as a 50k ultra, but again something like 8 laps would be plenty. You’re only 2 weeks out from the race so don’t want to be overdoing it. Any problems though just shout.

75 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Nice and easy!! Why 75 mins and not 60? To hit that training load target and ensure your plan is as consistent, week in week out as possible, to reduce that risk of injury.

70 mins done, as I knew I’d more than make up the extra 5 mins by running to the gym and back in the morning, which I did, as I’m typing this on Wednesday morning, after I ran to the gym and back😂😂. Can’t describe what a game changer listening to music is. It made quite a dull run on a wet Tuesday night quite enjoyable
Can’t believe it took you this long to discover music on runs. In this day and age with spotify we are blessed with choice. Pretty much every song ever at the tap of a button. Madness. What an app. Well done Joe.

Crammed a bit more into 1 session here but now you’ve got a lot of good stuff in there. Hopefully it’s ok?

About 25/30 mins of running, as I ran to the gym and back, but at a very gentle pace. Did upper body in the morning and legs in the evening. Feeling strong 💪🏼
Great work Joe. Good use of the gym commuted and some extra pts is never a bad thing, so long as we keep within that 110% mark which you will in this case.

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.

Just did 40 mins, as I had some in the bank from running to the gym the day before. Didn’t feel great in myself yesterday; partly physical and partly mental, so pleased to just get out for a little run
No worries. That’s where it’s good to have that understanding of the pts and where you are at, because you can always ease back a little and not feel bad about it. Hope all is ok? Some days are just shit. Especially this time of year when it’s dark and gloomy.

50K @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-5)

So important to respect the distance and get the pacing right. If you go off at a comfortable enough pace, then you’ll run a good race. Keep fuelling even if you don’t feel like it. Ultra’s have been described as “eating contests” by some of the leading runners. Walk the hills if need be.

Six ‘yards’ completed, as I didn’t really need to do anymore than that. The most important part of today was the psychological side of it. Getting up at 2:30am and starting at 3:00am. Realistically, no one wants to be doing that, but I need to do it to get my body used to it and being outside of my comfort zone. Even managed a little bit of pace on the final yard. Now to enjoy my day, until I go to bed super early tonight 😂
Agree, no need to be pushing too hard and respect for starting at that time. Love the specificity of this session. Perfect training and takes commitment to get up at that time. I would say if you feel ok tomorrow and wanted to do 60 mins easy you’ve got some spare pts in the bag, but it’s not essential.

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

Did 2 x 35 sit up; 2 x 90 secs plank; 50 mins easy. Loving the core work at the moment and feeling strong because of it. Also, I’m actually liking how my body looks, which I’ve found difficult in the past. 50 mins easy felt really comfortable. Very happy with my recovery after the BYU practice
That is a quick recovery and very positive. That’s the best thing about S&C is you start to notice changes in your body. As someone who has never had a muscle I remember after 18 months of doing upper body 3 times a week at Bannatynes I was like “whose arms are those?” It felt great. Need to get back there. So if you stick with it, hopefully you will continue to see gains in that department too.
