Bringing the big marathon session forward has rattled me a bit. I did initially have a 2nd S&C in the plan and do for future weeks. What do you think about that? I’ve taken it out for now and extended the spin. But it’s either a 2nd S&C or more miles to keep the training progressive. Let me know which of those you feel more comfortable with. But another strong week. Keep up the great work James. Training at a very good level right now.

Switch my easy run with intervals as weather was awful & couldn’t face intervals in it. Easy run felt good.
No worries, smart move

Intervals felt strong this morning.
Pace constant on all of them, first a little slower but most of it was uphill.
Held marathon pace well in between. Good session.
Strength & conditioning workout completed in the evening.
It’s a good session that as it can make you realise that marathon pace isn’t that quick in comparison to 10k speed. Well done James.

21K @ Marathon Pace

58 POINTS

Another wet run but felt good once I settled into the pace.
Held the pace consistently for the whole run.
Legs were a little sore from a sports massage the day before but the loosened up. Overall pleased with the run.
Big session that one. Yeah I would be careful with the timing of a sports massage. I had one this week and she mentioned how she was basically breaking down the muscles (injuring me) so they would repair stronger. So if we can give our muscles a bit more time after a sports massage it can help. Great running though. You’re all set for something 3:25-3:30 right now and perhaps even a little bit quicker if you continue to progress over the next 6-8 weeks. Well done James

40 Mins Run

12 POINTS

Visit to a different parkrun was a bit quicker than easy but nowhere near a difficult pace.
Felt good after yesterday so pleased with it.
It’s hard not to get carried away at parkrun, but I would always say try to keep it easy as if we do creep into threshold we are not getting the same physiological benefits that we do when the pace is easy (more mitochondria). That’s why slow (and lower RPE and heart rate) is better for the easy runs.
