Two really good sessions this week complimented with the easy runs and the S&C. A lot of good stuff going on right here. 150pts is the level you should be working at in truth. If you do play football though we probably want to tweak something as that might be pushing you over the red line. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Ben.

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.

Added a bit of intensity and extra time to make up a few more points. Headed out earlier too, which made a difference with the heat
Nice, it’s good if you feel ok on days like this to do a little bit extra when behind. It’s also a nice boost mentally to know you’re catching up and doing more. Feels like a win that way.

I’ve created a good all round gym session here. There might be some exercises the physio has given you that we need to work in. Let me know the key ones from that and I can chop and change a little. It might take us a while to get it perfect but those that have made the best gains with their strength work just do the same thing week in week out with only a few tweaks here and there.

If time is limited what I do is pair exercises together and go from one to the other without the recovery. I’ve tried to pair some up for you. For example you could do 3 x 15 Bicep Curls and then use the same barbell for your deadlifts, so straight away you’re saving about 3-4 mins by not needing 60s recovery in between each of those exercises.

No access to gym so improvised with a big water bottle for those with weights ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
Good idea, there’s always a way. I’ve heard some interesting alternatives in the past including a bag full of baked bean cans instead of kettlebells. Are you anywhere nice for your holiday?

Credit TRC for this one. Imperative to stick to half marathon pace in that first 15 minute tempo. Otherwise you’ll be too fatigued to hit target 5k pace in the shorter reps.

Read plan slightly wrongly so started with only 5 mins warm up but did 15 mins cool down when I realised
No worries. Loving the splits though. Just checked on Strava and hit some really good paces there.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Done. Lovely run around park where I’m staying in Mexico city

Big session!!

Struggled to maintain pace a bit as legs were heavy from a big day of walking day before, but pleased to have done it and generally felt pretty strong
Still a quality run this. Just had a runner do a 3:08 and I remember him doing this session and struggling with his target pace. But then yesterday he used the word “Easy” and finished at sub 4:00 per km pace. So never see it as a negative if the goal pace feels tough in these sort of sessions. Race day is always much easier with all the other runners around and the support. Great work Ben.
