A little bit of everything this week. Trying to make sure no run is the same. Even if it means getting some strides in. I like the cheeky little hill session (I know, more hills, sorry). The gang will be doing them Tuesday, although not sure if there will be any of the Bexhill gang heading over. 2 more big weeks of training and then we taper for SDW50. So keep ticking it off. You’re smashing it right now.

70 Mins Run

21 POINTS

Could still feel Saturday’s long run in my legs, which is understandable. However, I did 70 mins, as I’d like Thursday’s to run to be slightly shorter. It works out better for me that way, as I have more spare time this morning
Good thinking and great way to start the week!

Hill Reps 60-45-30

22 POINTS

Surprised by how comfortable that felt for the first few reps, then felt it getting tougher towards the end. A rather eventful run, as on my warm up I had to help out a poor older guy, who had fallen over and couldn’t get back up, so was just sitting on the grass verge. Pleased to tick off another decent session
Hope the old chap was ok. It’s a good session that, and the team also smashed it over in Hastings. It was great running with Lou Sunday as everyone around us was crumbling in terms of form, but Lou stayed tall and strong, powering home. Something hopefully you’ll find in SDW50 as you hit those latter miles given all the training you have done. Great work Joe.

Joe S&C Session

12 POINTS

Strong sporty woman in white sportswear warm up training running on a treadmill climber stairs machine in gym indoors.

30 Mins Stairs

14 POINTS

It’s one hell of a session that one – over 90 mins in the gym – after a day at work – got it done though 👊🏻💪🏼
If you’re only going to the gym once a week it’s good to do a big session like that. 30pts is a lot as well, so we are really getting some excellent gains from this. And as you can tell the stairs are doing some real good for those climbs incoming. Great work Joe.

50 Mins & Strides

19 POINTS

Absolutely shattered today, so was considering whether to not run at all, but I did, just 45 mins and no strides
Glad you were able to get out there. I think sometimes the mindset should be “well I’m going to fell 10 times worse than this during the Grand Union Canal” and perhaps that will always motivate you to get out there. No worries about the strides, not as important for you. Hill sprints (10 seconds max) are always an alternative to strides as well.

60 Mins Easy-MP

24 POINTS

Loved that one. Felt comfortable, fit and strong. It definitely helps that I’ve lost about 5 pounds over the last 3 weeks. I’ve had a change of mindset in terms of what I eat and it’s helping me massively, not just physically but mentally too. I’ve never really enjoyed watching what I eat, but I do now, so that’s great 20 mins bike 3 x 10 bicep curl 2 x 10 (on each side) torso twists 3 x 12 leg press 3 x 10 leg extension 3 x 12 pectorals 3 x 10 shoulder press 3 x 12 kettle bell swing 1 x 40 sit ups 2 x 10 lat pull down
Really pleased to here you are focusing on nutrition too. Margin gains can make a big difference. And glad you felt strong today, it’s a good session that and nice to mix things up from a normal 60 min easy. Well done Joe.

Really good to run with you and Kev…needed that company today. Struggled towards the end, but that’s a good test for the ultras. Looking forward to ticking off the final big week of training
Not surprised you struggled. 20 miles is still 20 miles. Always going be to tough to some degree. But yeah, really nice to run with you and Kev. Sorry to hear about the job. I had the battle of my previous business declining in recent years which was tough to take but that led me down the path of coaching instead and never been happier. You’re still young enough to start a whole new career if you wanted so don’t be afraid to think big.
