I really feel like these shorter rep sessions are doing you wonders, allowing you to run at that quicker pace, which hopefully come Saturday will make parkrun pace feel much more comfortable. If conditions are good another chance to have a free hit at that PB. Still early in the plan so no pressure to get it, just do your best and keep making progress. Love where you’re at right now with your running. Keep it up Kirsty.

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

Just another manic Monday! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

Hhhhmmmmmm ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ this could have been better with people, I recon I could have pushed more. That said, on a positive, I never thought Iโ€™d be pissed off with reps starting with a 4 so letโ€™s take that as a win.
Pace was swift. But yeah I get that. Tough session solo. But hitting paces you’ve not hit before which is exciting and should lead to further improvement. Awesome work Kirsty.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate. Don’t forget your strides. Very important. 30-60 seconds recovery between strides.

24 mins, TWR, strides. Very chill tonight!
It has been cold hasn’t it. I headed out in a rain jacket for my Wednesday jaunt. Extra bonus point banked. Well done Kirsty

A really good home workout for the arms and legs. If you are short on time you can superset the exercises. Do 2 back to back without the recoveries. Eg 15 squats, 15 bicep curls, 15 squats and so on….

Oh hello, another session bites the dust! In a good way. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

Zone 2: Easy

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

27:01 Iโ€™m cross.
Don’t be. It’s there. I think looking at the data, pace, heart rate, cadence, it’s probably just the head holding you back. Still a bit of self doubt when it gets tough. It happens, don’t beat yourself up, you’re training well, your fitness is in a really good place, not every parkrun, race and session is going to be perfect. It will come, just keep being positive and telling yourself “you can”. And to run your 2nd fastest 5k on Strava and be disappointed tells you where you’re at right now. So that in itself is a positive. Keep going Kirsty.
