Choose Day👇

I’ve ditched an S&C this week and put in another easy 60 mins. If that feels too much we can switch back. But I think if you were to head out for something super easy, it just keep the legs ticking over, rather than smashing them in another workout. More points, less damage potentially. As for Sunday. What a day. HHM is the best. With the swim as well could be wise to take it a bit easier. A big gang will be joining me at 2 hour pace. Perhaps stick with us for a bit and then kick on towards the end. 🤔

Enjoyed that HHM prep session, although wasnt as easy as it looked on paper haha. Sorry I didnt make it to sea front. I ran the 12min reps at 5min per km pace.. not sure if im actually that quick over HM (especially hilly hastings) but we will see!
No worries. I know it’s a trek for you into town. So check out my last HHM from 2024. I felt like I paced this one perfectly (https://www.strava.com/activities/11028915493) You might want to go a 5 seconds fast per km to come in 1:48-1:49, but that feels about right for you if I’m honest. Well done on today’s sessions.

45min swim.. the swims im really seeing huge improvement and really.enjoying them.. the s&c im slacking, didnt do this one yesterday. Sorry
To be honest of all the things on your schedule, given your age, the S&C is the least important thing (over 40 is when it becomes a must), so I’m not worried about that. And if you wanted to ditch it from the schedule and add in some extra cardio I would be happy to do that. I’m just delighted to hear you are noticing the difference with the swimming. Great work Mitch

Half Marathon

HM done, swim I gave a miss.
I don’t blame you for ditching the swim. Especially if HHM was a struggle. Perhaps just a little spicy with the pace through 5k? It’s hard. Pacing a flat half marathon is tough enough. I cocked up Paddock Wood one year and the last 8km or so were just awful. Whatever the reason, sometimes we have these runs, the most important thing is to step back and look at the bigger picture, and despite the hurdles you’ve had to overcome I still feel like you are making progress. So keep going Mitch, and well done for earning yourself one of the best medals going.
