I do like a quick parkrun in the plan from time to time. Doesn’t have to be a fast course, just a good solid effort to wake up those fast twitch muscle fibres. So two decent sessions complimented with the easy miles, which we need to keep easy, including Sunday’s long run. Looking at the plan, 6 of the next 7 weeks you’ve got a session or race on the Sunday, so enjoy these easy miles. Keep up the great work Dan. Biggest pts week yet.

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.

2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

I love this session. One of my favourites. Important to keep those first 1km reps at 10k pace, otherwise you’re going to struggle to pick up the pace on the 400s. Make sure you take a day off to recover from this one, or at least run easy the following day.

Progression WU complete. 5x 1km all sub 6:25 pace. 10x 400m all sub 6:00 pace. Got kicked off the track so did a 10 min cool down on my Wattbike Atom in the garage when I got home.
Consistent splits make me so happy. 83 second last lap as well. I get about 50 Hastings Runners along to track on Mondays and you’d be up there as one of the quickest 2 runners each week, so don’t underestimate how good you are compared to the average runner. Great session Dan.

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

Chilled day with a good film.
You never mentioned if you enjoyed the twist in His and Hers. We saw Send Help at the cinema this week. Really enjoyed it actually, dark humour with a bit of horror and gore.

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.

Warm up and strides complete. Sub 20 PR. CD complete.
Great work Dan. Looked like a good effort. HR pretty much consistent throughout which is good to see. More pts in the bank

Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.

Great work Dan. Was listening to a good podcast about Easy Running this week and picked up a good tip about setting the watch screen to display only HR and mins. Something I’ll be trying going forward.
