Strong week. Normally we’d go into a race like the 5 miler a bit fresher but we need to look at the bigger picture and keep hitting those targets. If anything that can take a bit of pressure off the time Sunday and see it as a good opportunity to push the fitness up another level. Any issues with the schedule just shout. Recovery week coming up. Keep up the great work Michael.

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.

Enjoyed that, love the group sessions, great variety of runners but all looking for improvement.
They are a fantastic bunch aren’t they? And I think that is what makes it so special. Everyone puts the work in and no moaning. Great work yourself. Well done Michael.

Great session. If short on time superset a few exercises. Let’s do this ๐Ÿ’ช

Done on Thursday lunchtime Gym was quiet so got it all done, felt good and had a right laugh at ‘influencers’ filming themselves ๐Ÿคฃ
There are some right posers in there. But it can be a pretty good place to people watch at times. Just careful who you make eye contact with ๐Ÿ˜‚ Great work though, hopefully noticing the difference now from these sessions, I feel much stronger.

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

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.

Jogged to the park, spoke to the walk to run group, did a few laps of the park then did strides in the shade followed by a jog home. All done on Wednesday.
Sounds like the perfect run. Amazing what they are doing with the W2R!!!

30 Mins Stairs

Zone 2: Easy

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Keep that heart rate in Zone 2. You might feel like RPE is higher, as it’s a tough exercise, but a good opportunity to really improve your aerobic engine without the heavy impact of running.

Done Saturday S&C done but as both the climbers and cross trainers were busy I jumped on the bike for 20 minutes
That would have really annoyed me. But decent alternative to give the legs a spin out. Great work.

Zone 2

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Done Friday on Bexhill seafront for a change, kept it nice and easy
Yeah been a while since I’ve run there, must head over there one day. Hopefully the new HR stats will help with these easy runs. I’ve found I’ve had to slow down a little due to the heat in recent weeks but I’m slowing seeing my pace increase again as I do more miles.

5 Miles

Zone 5: 10K

10 Mins CD

Zone 2: Easy

5 miles is a really tough distance to get right. Rest assured, this is tough. The first mile is so important, don’t go off too quick and you’ll set yourself up for a strong race. Pace should be right at the top of your Zone 5, 10k target. Towards the end you’ll be working in Zone 6 though from an RPE and heart rate perspective.
