Recovery week. Yippee!! Enjoy. Although still 2 pretty tough sessions. If you can combine Saturday with parkrun that should make it easier to hit target pace. Keep up the great work Ben.

Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.

Focus on effort level rather than pace or heart rate as both will fluctuate depending if you are going up or down the hill

Really happy with this session. Feel like I am somewhere close to how I used to be with hills – always previously a strong area for me.
I was very impressed. What you’ve just said there in that feedback is what I want you to be telling yourself at HHM. Up Queensway and that last hill towards the school. Keep reminding yourself that hills are your strength and that will make a huge difference. Well done Ben.

*single leg exercises so divide the time by half and do on both sides.

Superset (combine) two exercises together. For example. 45 seconds of squats and then straight into 45 seconds of Russian Twist. Keep going until you have completed all the sets of both exercises and then take a 60 seconds rest before moving onto the next 2 exercises and repeat the process. This should allow you to get the whole session complete in around 35 minutes.

Add weights to make the exercises more challenging.

Done. Found this a bit harder than the previous sessions, with longer before breaks, although the changing of the exercise helps with that, so not too bad.
Great work Ben. This is definitely a step up and more challenging. I do have some more S&C sessions coming up, which will replace these timed ones, to allow more recovery if needed. But this will definitely help with progression and a good alternative to ASPT.

I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load. Don’t forget those strides as well (if highlighted)

Did this in Battle with the gang. Included 4 stride like efforts in Battle Station Car Park near the end.
Great work Ben. Only 4 strides? ๐Ÿ˜‰

A good opportunity to practice goal pace for an steady run. The more comfortable you get at goal pace the easier it will feel on race day.

Started with 10 min easy, and then did 40 mins at HM pace pre Parkrun. Had a 5 min or so break before parkrun, so felt comfortable at 8:00 min/mile pace at start of Parkrun, and continued to feel good, so slowly upped the pace as the run went on. Ended up getting a post op PB (24:03). Oops! 6 min cool down, to make 80 mins in total.
I’ll be honest, sometimes I forget to check my schedule board to see what everyone is doing and forget. Easily done with 60 runners. So then I saw your time of 24:ish and thought that’s good, I must have set Ben a fast parkrun, but I think he’s quicker than that. But when I saw your Strava and remembered the session you had it all made perfect sense. To finish strong and pick up the pace is fine. Shows how well you are running. Great work Ben. Bonus pts banked.
