  • 13th - 19th April

Another strong week with 120pts on the table. Tuesday is a little out of sync with the original plan due to last week missed session, just in case you wondered why it wasn’t hills. Tempo Saturday is to allow you to pace at parkrun. Picking the time closest to your HM pace would be ideal. Any issues let me know but keep up the great work Ben.

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,

I do enjoy these sessions. Happy with my pace, and managed to put a bit more speed on the final rep. 👍
You looked really strong today. Especially that last rep. Sometimes the simple ones are the best because you can really focus on the specific pace. I was waiting for your reaction when I changed the recoveries 😂 The reason for that is purely to get the best out of you all, and dropping it to 90 makes it that little bit more challenging that when we previously did it. Loving the black/orange combo too. Awesome work Ben

I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load. Don’t forget those strides as well (if highlighted)

Moved Bimble to today, as have stoolball practice tomorrow. So did on my own from home. Was a bit of a hilly route, so did walk a bit on Parkstone road. Then did my strides at the end. Also did yesterdays stretches today. I have stoolball again on Tuesday and a meeting the following Tuesday, so not able to make the next two efforts group sessions.😢
I think this is the saddest feedback for a while. I was sad that you had to do bimble on your own 😢 Then the feedback got even sadder when you said you can’t do the next two Tuesdays 😢😢 But well done on still getting the run done. I used to hate the idea of walking up hills, like it was a defeat. But on the easy runs, you know what, it’s actually beneficial to keep the HR down. I saw a great post about it the other day and the bloke said “your heart has no idea if you are walking or running” And I’ve just looked at your data and your heart rate was higher walking up Parkstone than it was running down Little Ridge. So never see it as a defeat, if anything it’s smart training. Thanks for doing the strides as well. I’m off to try and cheer myself up.

I have just read Wednesday’s feedback and if that made you sad, then you had better take a seat! Stoolball practice this evening, and I managed to pull a calf muscle. I don’t think it is too bad, but obviously not going to be running for a few days. 🥲 I did the stretches session when I got home. I have looked up what stretches I am supposed to be doing and will do those and see how it goes. Hopefully it will be days rather than weeks out. 🤞
Yes this has taken my sadness to a new level. What are you doing to me? 😂 Hopefully it will only be a few days. I wasn’t working Friday this week (Thursday instead) hence the message to check, but keep me posted, but take some time to rest up. You don’t want to rush back and make it worse.

A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.

Calf much better, no pain. Walked Parkrun. Going to do another walk tomorrow. I am hopeful then that I will be safe to run from early next week if no further issues. I think I am actually able to make Tuesday now, but possibly not Thursday, but don’t know if hills is sensible. I will see how it goes.
I’ll message you. Glad it’s feeling better.

36pts | 120 Mins Run

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Did a walk from Two Sawyers in Pett around Guestling Woods. Saw some familiar people in the pub garden! No calf pain, so hopefully all ok. I will see how ASPT goes tomorrow.🤞
How lush were the bluebells. You should have come and said hello (assuming you are talking about us). Sensible to rest up and then go again once the calf is ready. You don’t lose your 100% club streak by the way. That’s put on pause when someone is injured or ill.
