You’ve been working hard lately and next week is lighter in pts, so keep going and get through this week and it will be easier in 7 days time. The 5 x 1 mile reps, we want to do at 5 mile pace. So just a fraction slower than 5k pace but quicker than 10k pace. It’s preparation for next weeks 5 mile race. Any issues let me know. Hopefully the legs recover quickly from the demands of the Rye 10.

Working on our arms as runners is mainly superficial in truth, in the sense it won’t improve our running much but can help with confidence. Who doesn’t want bigger guns? This session should take no more than 30 mins, combine 2 exercises together (superset) to reduce the total time.

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.

Really good session, enjoyed that. Pacing was about right
Smashed it. Yeah close to 20 min parkrun pace for 22 mins which shows the pace is there. Awesome work Glenn

*reps/seconds on both sides

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.

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

All good
Great job Glenn

A challenging session as holding goal pace for 1 mile can be tough, but it builds up your endurance and mental strength.

Warm! Struggled with 5m pace for the last 2 miles in the heat
It makes such a big difference the heat, hopefully it will be cooler next Sunday. But important in training to factor that in and not worry if you’re not quite on target pace. Well done though Glenn, good session that one.

Zone 2: Easy

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

Bit of a busy weekend so did this early Monday morning. Went out early enough so wasn’t ridiculously hot. Heart rate under 150.
Great job Glenn for squeezing it in. You were not the only one to make good use of the extra weekend day. I’ve added some HR zones to your dashboard to give you a good idea where you want to be if measuring your runs off that data. What I would say looking at this run is perhaps you can just slow down more up the hills. I did a 7:07km the other day running up a hill and my HR was the same as a 5:10 km down a small gradient. So goes to show the difference in pace needed to keep the HR in the right place.
