I’m really pleased with how this block has gone and have seen some really good signs of progress. So it’s important to give yourself that boost and confident self talk ahead of Sunday. It’s such a great event to be part of, and having not run it for 2 years, I’m just grateful that I’m in a position to run. It’s a good attitude to have rather than worrying about times and pace. Go out there, give it your best shot and enjoy the experience. You got this Jo!

25pts | Timed Taper (HM)

25 POINTS

Recoveries: 120 Secs for the 12 mins, 60 Seconds for the 1 min reps.

A really good session to do as a group the week in the lead up to a half marathon. It gives you an opportunity to run a few miles at goal pace and also get some speed in the legs. Be sure to stick to HM pace though, any quicker and it defies the object of the session and you will be tired on race day.

Sooo much better than how I felt last week.
So pleased you felt better and a strong session to bank ahead of Sunday. Well done Jo.

18pts | 60 Mins Run

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

An ok run
This feedback made me laugh as so brief and too the point, but equally I know exactly how you feel. Some of the team often just write “meh” in their feedback which is a good way of describing a run like this.

15pts | 45 Mins Spin Class

15 POINTS

45 Mins @ Varied Intensity (RPE: 3-9)

A great way to get the heart pumping to some banging tunes. Have fun 😁

Jax and I walked 18km the weekend before HHM. It was a test to see if I could run/walk Brighton marathon. I was amazed at how damaged I felt post walk, my ankle (not a problem before) felt ruined. So can see how that effected your HHM.

66pts | Half Marathon (Race)

66 POINTS

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.

Haha well I really blew that. Made the mistake of forgoing spin to take some rest then sabotaged with an impromptu 16 mile walk in not the best shoes on Friday. Could barely walk on Saturday that showed on Sunday. Could have salvaged something but I was just looking for an excuse to stop on the seafront. TBH I have found the past few weeks trying to tie up work things a real challenge and the HHM landed at the wrong time, I felt quite ambivalent about it all. Onwards and upwards with nothing to get in the way after next Tuesday.
Firstly, well done for completing the half marathon. We should never underestimate that achievement, especially HHM. We both know you’re better than that time reflects, but obviously the build up wasn’t ideal (lesson learned I hope). And I know from just the communication and training complete in recent weeks it’s been a struggle for you to balance the running and work commitments. But take the positives going forward, you have an opportunity here to really make a difference and find a good balance in life and keep yourself in great shape. You’ve laid down some good foundations over the winter, which is often the tough part, so if you can kick on from here, there’s no reason you can’t find yourself running confidently over the next 6 months. One thing my injury has taught me lately is it doesn’t actually matter what your target is, so long as you work hard and try your best, that’s what matters and you can feel just as good running a half marathon 20 mins slower than you best, than you can running a PB.
