We might benefit from some tweaking here. You can always combine a couple of the session to get an extra rest day. Let me know if you want to do that. But whilst busy, individually the sessions are not that demanding, so it should be fine it you’re able to rest and recover in between. For Sunday, again it’s just a no pressure, work hard, see what happens race. See it as training for bigger races in the plan. Sometimes if you have that approach you will be more relaxed and run a better time. Any issues just shout but keep up the great work Jo.

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.

Thanks Simon, a good session I think
I think the best feedback I can offer here is what I said in the moment to Jax. I saw you running the far side, turned to Jax and said “Look at Jo, she’s running so strong tonight, great form”. And I think that’s where these shorter reps are really good. Sub 8:30 per mile pace. Whilst that’s only possible over the short distances, good form is possible at any pace and that’s something to take from this. So when out on an easy run and your grumpy, think about form, check your posture, what are the arms doing, is your foot contact still light? But yes in terms of this session, fantastic work.

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Really grumpy today due to lack of sleep and ffing about with Henry’s bag. Didn’t want to do spin so went for a run instead. Will go to the gym tomorrow afternoon my run in the morning
No worries. Respect for the help you give to Henry, it must be tough, although I believe he’s close to stopping is he not? Well done on getting out there though and managing a run. I’ve tweaked the dashboard so hopefully it looks right. I’m likely going to put out a post on Team Orange about my contribution to Hastings Runners over the next few months as I don’t want anyone feeling like I’m against the club, when in fact it’s the opposite. But I’ve just given up trying to help now, because every time I speak to the other members on the committee they just don’t listen or even worse show disrespect towards me. All the points I make are done with what I believe are the members best interests at heart. And I have zero frustration with you as I’m sure you are finding it difficult too with the other 3 seemingly making ALL of the decisions. That’s the last I will mention club politics on here, I just wanted you to know where I stand.

All done, so quiet in the gym, then a jog along the busy seafront testing the breeze for Sunday
Yeah people not so keen on the gym in this heat. All good for us committed folk though. Great work Jo. Running really well right now.

5 Mile Race

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.

Wasn’t really sure what to expect from this race really but it went ok overall and apart from the extreme heat turning half way I felt relatively comfortable, not that I could have gone much faster. Nowhere near my best time but I think the last time I raced this in 2023 I was a good few minutes slower
We can sometimes get so caught up in our times and comparing them to past years or others that it masks what is really important. And that’s just pacing a race well and feeling strong, moving well. If we do those, it’s better to be a bit slower than a previous version of ourselves that nearly killed ourselves to run a bit faster. Looking a your splits you paced this really well and as your fitness continues to improve you can then look to pick up that speed a little. But very happy to see how you executed this race, so really well done Jo.
