Speaking of items of clothing with obscenities on them I might rock up to the next HR meeting with a black t-shirt, and “NO FUCKS GIVEN” written in capital letters, orange of course. As for the plan. Decent week with the race on Sunday to look forward to. One of those events you just want to go out there and do your best. At this stage of the plan don’t get too caught up in target times or putting pressure on yourself. See it as a really good training run, where if you work hard you’ll improve your fitness, regardless of what the clock says when you cross the finish line. You got this.

Felt ok today no aches πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ’ͺ🏼
That’s great to hear the day after a tough race and shows all the gym work you do is working.

Hopefully you can smash this out in 20 mins. If you pair some of the exercises together. So for example do the seated calf raises and then rather than sit around for 60s waited for the next set, do a plank and then switch back to the Bent Knee Calf Raises. This is referred to as supersets in the gym world.

Smashed this out this morning
Great to get it done early. Awesome work Chrissie. Love the plank selfie for proof. You know I believe you when you say you do these sessions right? πŸ˜‚

60 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Early treadmill 50 mins …. Tried to get full 60 in but ran short of time. Finished off in park before W2R (10 mins 38sec) and then 9mins of running assisting on W2R session Did you go to coaches meeting? I hope you behaved yourself πŸ€ͺ🀣
Great work Chrissie. Thanks for doing the whole 60 and more. No I stayed away. I think me being there would have made it worse and I’m staying away from the club politics at the moment.

Zone 2: Easy

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. The elliptical can tone muscles and improve endurance whilst being gentle on your joints.

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.

Helped out at the school colour run today! πŸ₯΄ lots of mess πŸ€ͺ
Sounds fun, albeit carnage, I’ve seen some of them in the past and the mess they create.

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace

RPE: 3

WU is key. CD not as important, but if you have done a fast 10 miles it’s recommended. Also if going for a quick one including drills and strides (4 bonus pts) is worth while too.

Knowing your goal pace beforehand is important and ensuring you don’t go off too quick is crucial. Obviously that will be determined by the elevation of the route. But I’m always happy to discuss pacing strategies and race tactics beforehand.

Good Luck!! You got this πŸ’ͺ

Wow super happy with that! I know I’m getting stronger but I always have that self doubt and race fomo Who knows where that final push came from I shocked myself lol πŸ˜‚ (Jax reckons that the sparkles help – sparkle power ✨✨🀣) Official 10 mile pb of 7 mins 43 secs πŸ™ŒπŸΌβœ¨πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ‘ŠπŸΌπŸ§‘
Huge!!! That’s a massive improvement on last year and congratulations on your new PB. The additional strength work is clearly making a difference. Nerves and self doubt are normal, but keep doing what you are doing and believe in yourself. I thought the socks probably contributed more than the sparkles right? Fantastic running Chrissie.
