5 mile race Sunday? A lot of the team will be there. I guess it will depend on work. But if you can make it that would be great. The schedule is based with that in mind so having those two rest days in the build up. My only concern is if you did long run Sunday, doing the speed work on Monday, so see how you feel but we might need to tweak that if you are tired. Keep up the great work Sally.

A really good session and chance to see if you can push the pace and hit 5k pace or a little under. This will test both your speed and endurance. The challenge is made tougher by slightly shorter recoveries.

45 Mins Swimming @ Easy Pace

RPE: 3

It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.

53 min session completed. Enjoyable, little fatigued but comfortable πŸ˜€
Bonus pts. Yippee

Ended up being a 77 minute evening run in glorious weather. Warm but thoroughly enjoyed, ran a few miles on the beach on the way which I loved. Legs felt good, I felt good πŸ˜€ Nice stretch after πŸ˜€
Love these runs, just makes you appreciate being fit and healthy which given your history I guess you have even more gratitude for. But on my evening run we came off Bexhill road onto the seafront and the cooling head wind hit us, I had one of those moments where you just appreciate everything. It was ace. Well done Sally.

Zone 2: Easy

Give the HR 5 mins or so to increase to just below LT2 then just hold it there, drop the pace if you do hit threshold.

OMG I loved that. 10 min warm up. When I first started that 20 mins I thought OMG I’m gonna die. But once I got the breathing under control and settled into it, I found it challenging but could have gone on longer. Not sure how much longer but I wasn’t dying at the end. Legs felt good even though they were aching from gym sesh yesterday. Doing that run made me come away feeling really positive. Loved it, loved it, loved it πŸ˜€ 10 min cool down jog and walk and finished with stretches πŸ˜€
Thank you so much for this feedback. I was scared you’d find it boring, but what you’ve said is ultimately the key to these sessions in that you work hard but not to the point you feel broken at the end and can do more. We can build these up a little and do 25-30 mins. What you’ll find as well is the pace can vary depending on the rep size. So there is still a lot of variety to be had and I’ll experiment with that. More of these sessions to come. In terms of the data, looks like you were a little over at the start, but that will just come with practice and you’ll learn what pace = what HR. And the more you do the quicker you’ll be able to run whilst keeping it under threshold (171). Great work Sally

Had to do this today, Sunday. So frustrating only got to 58 minutes and had to walk very slowly for the last 5 minutes. Without going into too much detail got caught short and desperately needed the toilet, with nowhere to go where I was running not even a bloody bush. So could only walk practically dolly steps to get home without being in a right mess 😩😩😩 But what I did get to run was great and very much needed mentally after the last 3 long days at work πŸ˜ƒ
Trust me I’ve been there. It’s an awful sensation right. I’ve only once got caught short and not made it home, but luckily was on a country lane so nipped into the woods for what was a somewhat unpleasant experience πŸ˜‚ Glad you were able to get out for this one. Well done Sally.
