Tuesday we are doing pyramid hills using the lampposts so that might be an option and you could swap those days if you were keen on getting some hill work in before HHM. I’ve added some extra Sunday as well. So we are pushing the pts now to a very good, but manageable level in my opinion. But let me know how it feels, as we don’t want to get too carried away, especially as everything is going so well right now. The week before and after PW will be easy, so only 2 more weeks of full training before that taper, so keep up the great work Lou.

Build up to a long interval session like this. Good to practice a variety of paces and dig deep during those longer middle reps.

So after claiming that my knee was terrible it seemed to be fine 🀣 my bum is more annoying! Pace was much better this week. Maybe I was just a bit fatigued last week because of the over indulgences and over socialising.
A great start to the week Lou. Let’s keep the pts down a bit this week and hopefully the glute pain will go. Another super impressive session though. Love where you are at with your training right now. Keep it up. I know why I said 28 now, I got confused with the pts πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

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.

Done. That was quite enjoyable, steady pace. Looked at my strava stats second 4 strides were actually better 🀣
I think it’s good to truly appreciate the difference between last weeks “easy run” and this weeks. One clearly much better for you than the other. Obviously I don’t want to turn people away from Horntye and that’s not what I am saying, but perhaps when you do go, pick your group wisely based on the RPE you want to put in. And huge difference between the two sets of strides. And as you say the 2nd set, were quicker which shows the importance of good form. You were just focused on the wrong things in the first set. So to repeat what I said. Don’t focus on going as quick as you can, focus on efficient arms, high cadence, light ground contact. All those things will help with your running form overall. Well done Lou

Excellent work Lou. Felt like we got this week spot on in terms of the intensity of the sessions. And that will have helped for Saturdays run.

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Can’t believe I run that fast. Kev and me didn’t really know what we done because neither of us have a clean watch πŸ˜† I was pretty spent, defo didn’t have anything else in me. Or maybe I did πŸ€” time will tell! Would have walked without Kev! I’m the queen of giving up!
Wow! Just Wow! This is one of those times even I’m surprised by a result from the team. Incredible. What a huge improvement in the last 6 or so weeks. Amazing. It goes to show what is possible. It’s what I always say to the team. Keep the training consistent and then all of a sudden you’ll have a run which will surprise you. And this was certainly that. We might need to have a discussion about your HM targets coming up. Because I think again, you might just surprise yourself. Fantastic work Lou. I know it sounds cheesy, but so proud of you. I started coaching because I wanted to help people go on the journey I’d been on, and to help you get a time that you perhaps never thought was possible is so pleasing for me. And now you’ve reached that level there’s a whole lot more to look forward to.

Combining both the legs and core into one good session can offer some good variety.Β  Be sure to be sensible if you do change up any of your weights or use different exercises.

You said I’d done my week training before I did it πŸ˜† that was presumptuous that I was going to compete it πŸ€£πŸ˜†πŸ€£ which of course given my anger over 100 club last week was probably a certainty!
I had great faith in you Lou πŸ˜‚ Plus I wanted to make a point about what consistent delivers. As proven again today by Sam and Conal. I’m very happy right now and well done again for hitting your targets, another strong week, we need to have a chat about half marathon goals.
