A couple of great sessions this week with Sunday’s being a good start to the marathon paced work. Keeping the rest of the training around those session light. Complimented by the strength work. Hitting some good numbers now with 168pts up for grabs. Right up there with the highest earners on the team. Any issues let me know. Hopefully the weeks rest has really helped.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Training readiness record this morning. 50 easy minutes at club run with a slight natural progression. Legs felt good.
That shows the time off does work. Nice to be able to get out there with the club. Well done Dan

Zone 2: Easy

Great session inspired by the Running Channel. Bit of a threshold session in disguise as you should find heart rate never gets beyond Zone 5. It’s doesn’t need to. Should feel comfortably hard. Keep the 400s at 5k pace for that same reason.

Training readiness defiantly did not reflect how I was feeling and the weather was biblical LOL. 2.7km warm up. A little more. Both 2km reps were sub 6:30 pace. All 400m reps were sub 6:00 pace. 1km cool down. Slightly short as was kick off the track. Solid session all things considered. The machine felt strong but the battery was a little flat.
Splits were great. Even more so when you told me the conditions and how you felt. That’s strong running Dan and ultimately it’s these sessions where the magic happens. So great work on smashing this one out of the park. I just hope you feel better soon. Loads of positives to take though ๐Ÿ’ช

Zone 2

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Still wasn’t 100% but got out for 40 chatty minutes with some friends. Moved my strides and S&C to Friday.
Glad you were able to get out and no worries about moving the other bits of the plan. Hope you feel 100% again soon.

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

Long day of travelling to Chicago and then a 2.5 hour drive to Lafayette.
I did look it up on the map when you mentioned you were traveling and noticed they were not that close. Driving in those conditions could be a bit scary.

A really good marathon training session and a chance to practice your goal pace without exerting too much energy.

8″ of snow fell overnight and with a temp of -12, it was impossible to run outside so it was my first long run on a treadmill. Had 4x 3 mile to do but changed it to 6x 2 mile with 0.5 mile recoveries in-between to try and make 2 hours on a treadmill more bearable. I press go, switched on Top Gun v1 and got it done. I actually enjoyed it weirdly. 16.5 miles total.
Absolute quality. Some great pacing in there. I always find it so much harder on the treadmill myself in terms of running fast. But given the weather outside, loads of positives to take here. The one thing the treadmill does offer is that consistency in terms of the conditions and elevation, so once you hit that pace, you can just hold it. I’m so happy with this one though. Adam, from Dover, who is working towards a spring marathon, smashed out a 10 mile PB yesterday (1:03), only just, but he’s running well, so hopefully further proof these plans work. He’s currently on his 3rd plan with me and running Manchester.
