2 great sessions this week. Makes me excited to get back to running myself knowing I can start attempting some of these again. Sunday’s is a beaut. Any problems let me know. Keep those easy runs easy. You got this Victoria.
Really like this session. A chance to practice your 10k pace, but break it down into chunks to make it manageable. Enjoy. You got this.
Actually managed to finish a session!
Didn’t feel that strong going out, but actually was going quite hard when I looked. Not a bad session all in all, feeling lot more positive.
Excellent. Strong pace as well. I always tell the team we are only ever one good run or session away from feeling good again. So take a lot of positives from this one and hopefully it’s the sign of things to come. Great work Victoria. Coach Simon 🍊
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.
Swapped with S&C
Solid, concentrated on form rather than hammering it for strides – felt pretty strong at end for first time in ages…
Love that. Yeah I’d always recommend focusing on form over speed for strides. Especially if running them in mud 😂 Great to hear you felt good after this one. Well done Victoria. Coach Simon 🍊
You’ve well educated in this area so more than happy if you want to mix it up.
Bit lighter this week and did a bit of a mix, got some plyo and jumps in there.
I’m happy if you want to mix it up. Starting to realise myself using the gym that a very rigid routine is tough to follow as the body might feel different each day and so tweaks need to be made. Hopefully in time I’ll find a way to best set S&C, but as long as the team are doing it, I’m content for now. Well done Victoria. Coach Simon 🍊

A great opportunity to practice your goal half marathon pace. Should be a good confidence booster a few weeks out from your goal half.
Tough, and felt tough but fairly fast and my heart rate seems to have normalised. Average was 156, and peak was actually at the start whilst warming up. Hopefully this how it should be!
Started out steady, had to push it into wind for the 3 and 2 bits, and managed to crack out a 4.28 last k.
Love this, yeah that’s a much more sensible HR for this type of effort. That’s one of my favourite sessions so glad this went well. Awesome work Victoria. Coach Simon 🍊
