This is our 2nd recovery week on this plan so we reduce the weekend run. It’s the Hastings Runners 5 miler the following weekend if that is a race you would like to do, it would slot into the plan quite nicely to be honest. Any issues with this weeks schedule let me know, but keep up the great work Matthew.

3K Pace

10 Mins CD

Easy

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.

10 mins WU @ 6’35” and 1’37” bpm. 10 x 1 min with 30 sec rest then 1’30” rest after 10. Then 5 x 1 min with 30 sec rest and 1’30” rest after the 5. Then 5 x 1 with 30 sec rest. Finish with 10′ CD at 7’17” and 141 bpm. ——– 9 x 10 min: 4’18”, 4’30”, 4’28”, 4’19”, 4’21”, 4’20”, 4’22, 4’20”, 4’25 @ 153 bpm average —- Return against wind. 5 x 1 min: 4’26”, 4’27”, 4’23”, 4’18”, 4’17” —- 5 x 1 min: 4’18”, 4’20”, 4’24”, 4’16, 4’09”. Last 10 @ 163bpm average (into wind)
Really consistent splits there and ultimately that’s what we are looking for. Sometimes the HR data can be a bit misleading for these short reps as the HR will always lag a touch so best to focus on pace or RPE if doing the shorter stuff. But really pleased you were able to get it done.

If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.

Done.
Bravo!! Well done Matthew

10.3km @ 6’60” per km average and 153bpm average. 70 mins. Struggled to keep heart rate down. Bumped in to Lou after her 2 hr run and she explained hear rate higher in heat until you become acclimatised. That’ll be it then. ;-)
It is. I was cruising on my Saturday long run but the HR was being really annoying and constantly threatening to jump into Zone 3 and eventually it did as I tried to keep up with Jax. Sometimes it’s good to try and align the fields. So if your HR is looking too high, but you feel like the RPE is still only a 3 or 4 and you feel strong, keep the pace the same. It’s only if HR and RPE both get too much you want to slow down. It wasn’t that long ago runners had only RPE to go on and I’m pretty sure it was more simple back then ๐Ÿ˜‚
