Another quality week. A session at quicker than 5km pace, one at target pace (although I reckon you can nudge under). TWR with the gang and a long run to look forward to. Keep being awesome and smashing your training. Any problems just shout.

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.

Don’t stop me now, I’m having a good time. Actually enjoy starting a week like this 🙌🏻💪🏻 almost did a ln actual push up not on my knee push up. Progress right there 🤭
That’s cool, shows you are getting stronger. I’m only going to use one lyric this week and on repeat. And that’s “bangaranga”, which this workout was. Awesome work Kirsty.

RPE is the best area to focus on, 3-4 effort for the easy 30s and then push 7-8 on the quicker 30 seconds.

Sore throat✅tired ✅run✅ I think pace wasn’t too shabby 🧐
I’m no sure what your Strava is playing at in terms of the pace graph. Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly but congrats on another strong effort session. Well done 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.

21mins strides TWR saw some HR friends, lovely chilled session
Living the dream. Love this time of year. Well done Kirsty

Simon,If I could offer you only one tip for this weekend, sunscreen would be it. S&C and a bit of stretch -did it!
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room

Classic session. Super simple. The end result being you have a better understanding of your current time for a 5K. Work hard and ideally finish each rep a few seconds quicker than your current 5k pace.

I put 4 reps into my watch 😳did make up the forgotten rep. Pace-not bad.
“Not bad”???? Give over. Close to 25 min park run pace. For what it’s worth. The pace I run my 5 x 1km reps in is pretty much what I do my 5k in. I’m not saying you should be smashing out a 25 min parkrun anytime soon, but just mention it to suggest you have the potential to keep knocking time off that current 5k time based on what you are doing in training right now.

Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.

Hot sweaty puddle. Don’t be mad but rounded up o a half so 2.30
How could I get mad at that. Love the enthusiasm. It was ridiculously warm too. If you can run a half in that, you can do anything. Another fantastic week Kirsty. Great work.
