We have the 5 mile race Sunday if you are available. It would leave us a few pts short but perhaps we could squeeze in some extra mins Thursday? No worries if you would prefer to stick to the plan as listed. I’ve got 20 x 1 again as I had to tweak the session last week due to slippery conditions in the park. Any issues, just shout. Keep up the great work Matthew. 100pts up for grabs for the first 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.

Love the increase in speed, really good session. Glad you enjoyed it as well, that’s very important with sessions like this. Great work Matthew. Yes I can tweak the schedule. Glad you have decided to run Sunday.

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.
Fab work Matthew 💪

Another good days work. HR maybe a fraction high but the heat could be a factor there. Well done Matthew.

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.

Average pace 4’56. Finish time 39’41”. Average bpm 169. Tough but hugely satisfying. Stretches done.
Cracking time and stats, in that 5k Zone 6 area which suggests you’re definitely making gains, to be able to average that across 8km. Really pleased you enjoyed it to, that’s important and shows you are making those gains and feeling strong. Fantastic running Matthew. Just checked the splits and to be 12 seconds between your fastest and slowest km is really good execution.
