Looks super busy I know with only the one day off, but hopefully the fact the gym sessions are not too hard, helps. Plus it’s good to keep busy right. You could always combine one of the your gym sessions with an easy run or put them together if you wanted a 2nd day off. But some good stuff in here. We’ve got the track session, which is a tough one, the easy hills and the long run. So a good mix this week. Any issues just shout. Keep up the great work Emily.

Tough session this and the idea is to try and keep those 8 minute reps consistently at 5k pace. The first one will feel comfortable, but the last one will feel like hell. The middle part of the session is to inject some speed in the legs and induce fatigue and possibly some lactic, so you have to work hard in that final rep.

Only did 8 mins on the warm up and just under 10 for the cool down. lLegs felt quite heavy to begin with but felt better throughout! The last 8 minutes actually felt better than the first ๐Ÿ˜…
That’s a great sign if you felt better at the end. Looking really strong actually and feel like you’re a in really good place with your running at fitness. You must be really proud of yourself for what you’ve managed so far? More to come hopefully. Well done Emily.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

Lots of sit ups, skipping, burpees, weighted lunges, overhead press and a bit of running
Ooof! Sounds demanding. If I never have to do a burpee I will be happy. So respect for that. Well done Emily ๐Ÿ’ช

Likely your heart rate will climb as you run up the hills, so don’t worry too much about drifting into Zone 3 for the hills, try and keep the rest in Zone 2.

Felt good! Managed to keep running from seafront up to Ore without stopping – Yey!
Yey indeed. That’s impressive. Well done Emily. Whilst hills are tough, knowing you get an extra 6pts compared to an easy 60 mins run makes it worth while.

Spent a lot of yesterday moving furniture and lifting heavy things so was a bit achey. Did not want to get up and go this morning. But so glad I did ๐Ÿ’ช
So our you moving house or changing jobs? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚ Or neither? Either way, well done for getting in the gym. I’m not sure I’ve ever left the gym feeling bad. It’s a real buzz!! Awesome work Emily.

Let me know how you get on with this. If you need to tweak any of the reps and weights slightly then that is fine. I can change them on here if you want me to.

I had a day off on Wednesday!we are redecorating so needed to get rid of a bunch of stuff ๐Ÿ˜‚ youโ€™re right- always feel better after going to the gym. Thatโ€™s my main motivation which again helped today!
There are days I ache or I’m tired beforehand but come out like a new person. We just need to remind ourselves of that before we go. I think that’s why it’s nice to be able to do both. I think in recent years I’ve become a bit too running obsessed, so glad to be back in the gym and hoping the better all round training will help me long term, as hopefully it will do for you. Well done for this Emily.

Zone 2: Easy

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Today was hard. Donโ€™t think I fueled well enough before. Usually I manage with some Aldi sweets but it didnโ€™t cut it today, I was sooo hungry ๐Ÿ˜‚ I did run with a friend (Ellie – goes to track too) which made it much more fun and easier to cope with!
Some days are just more challenging for whatever reason, but you got it done and nice to run with Ellie. Have you ever tried gels. I avoided them for years as I was always worried about what was in them, but eventually gave them a go and they helped me. I’ve some spare if you ever wanted to try before committing to buying a pack. But well done Emily for getting it done.

I ended up walking another 8-9km with the dog yesterday so chilling and eating lots today ๐Ÿฅ ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿž ๐Ÿ˜ด
One of the benefits of working hard is the freedom to eat more. ๐Ÿ˜‚
