Week Commencing: 11 May 26

Choose Day👇

I know, no spin. Sorry. We could swap it for something else but we need to be careful as not only is Sunday race day but it’s one of the tougher routes we do this year, so we need to protect the legs to be fresh but also so you recover quickly and can go again next week. So definitely reign it in a little prior to the Rye 10. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Lou.

Not like me to forget to leave feed back. Just really busy at the moment with work. Hence the lack of enthusiasm for getting involved in the politics of the coaches meeting. Hopefully it’s productive but I don’t need to be there.
Yeah prioritise what’s important to you. That’s the way I see it at the moment too. Trail Fam opportunities are growing as they are talking about a performance team within Sussex and I’ve just agreed to take a 3rd group per week, so something needs to give, so at the moment I’ve even less worried about not helping Hastings Runners, because I have other coaching avenues to explore. Helps that it’s paid too 😂 Well done on your sessions today.

Actually felt quite strong on these hills. But of a confidence boost for Sunday. I remember last year I felt good at rye 10. It was sort of a turning point in my training before I then injured my hip in the summer.
Honestly you look a different runner right now, form is great, the strength is there to see, even feels like you’re oozing confidence which can translate to others around. It’s great to see and every reason to be confident ahead of Sunday. Great session Lou

Already done my feed back on WhatsApp 🤣 some clients are so needy!!!!
😂😂 I like that though as you were so pleased with the HR you wanted to tell me in advance. I will tweak a few things going forward to try and get more of the team running to heart rate on the easy runs and hopefully it will make a difference. But good to see yours low for this one. Well done Lou.

Didn’t increase the weights as o think this month there are a lot of races. But June I should be able to progress. Felt like a celebrity one of the walk to runners was there. I was shouting at Nick to squat down further on the sledge pull and she said I flash backs of Wednesday 🤣
😂 Nice to be recognised that is for sure. Yeah don’t be a in rush to increase the weights. Consistency, much like with you running is key. We don’t want to pick up any niggles right now with the races coming along. Great work Lou

10 Mile Race

Missed the cool down 😆 sorry! But we did take Sashy for a little mile walk! When I was coming down the last stretch I knew I could get a pb! So I really had to push it! Some other runner encouraged me! Another week another pb 😆 people are going to get bored of me 🥱 Sorry didn’t run all the hills but hey it wasn’t a shabby effort!
I think it’s important sometimes to look back at years gone by as I seem to recall that was a race you found tough in the past. And then fast forward to 2026 Lou, who you are now. Imagine how proud past Lou would be right now of who you have become. I don’t think anyone is going to get bored about hearing about your progress and hard work, so don’t worry about that. As for the walking, that’s smart to be honest. I bet a few of the front runners had a cheeky walk in there too. Congrats on another PB, keep doing you, and inspiring others along the way. Really pleased for you. Don’t worry about the CD either, pretty sure only 1 of the team did it.
