  • 13th - 19th April

A good session Tuesday as we can see how close to the 20:00 mark you are again. Then pacers day at parkrun to have a little crack, even if you just keep the pacer in your sites. As for the other runs I think it’s important we keep them easy pace otherwise we are not getting the benefits from them. Any issues just ask, but two good sessions at 5k pace this week.

Done but light and careful. More attention to wall sits and forearm plank which I have been rushing through. I think this will be good for sciatica and blood pressure.
Good work Conal, sorry to hear the back has been an issue again, but hopefully it will pass. Keep stretching daily as that will make a big difference

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)

4 Mins @ 5K Pace (RPE: 8)
2 Mins Recovery
x 5

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Ideally you’re looking to match or beat your current 5k pace. This is a really simple but effective session. Working to time rather than distance allows you to do these sessions with runners of different ability. Very best of luck,

Managing back pain so the first rep was slow as I was avoiding sharp twinges. I tried to quicken cadence and concentrate on smooth form, and sped up to my actual target pace. The last two reps I was under target pace. The fitness is there and the pace is close. I just have to manage this sciatica. By the way Valencia marathon put me in the 5hr 30’ plus wave because they had a problem with the London marathon link I’d sent. I sent it again and they then put me in the 3 hr 45’ wave. Fortunately I was able to use my recent Paddock Wood HM time and finally they have moved me to the 3hr 12’ – 3hr 30’ band. All good.
Well done Conal, glad the back held up ok and was impressed with the pace in those last few reps. I had the experience of running in the last wave on Sunday. Wasn’t too bad at first as I was going at my easy pace but as the run went on it got worse as more and more of them started to walk. So it’s definitely good to get yourself in the right wave, otherwise you’d have no chance of getting the time you wanted.

24pts | 60 Mins Run Hills

24 POINTS

60 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2-5)

60 mins on the flat is quite different to 60 mins on the hills. So it’s important to differentiate between the two and if you do a hilly easy run, to account for that extra training load and how it might impact the rest of your week.
