130pts on the table this week, so a really strong week. The Friday session is a good chance to push the 10k pace ahead of next weeks race. Consistency is everything. If you keep ticking off these weeks you are going to see some really good gains. Keep smashing it out of the park Jamie. Any issues with the schedule let me know.

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.

Monday was missed, between the heat, kids, work etc. there was nothing left at the end of the day ๐Ÿ˜ฃ
I appreciate that and thanks for the honesty. Pretty sure I’ve got a few on the team who just write “ok” when it’s obvious they have not done the session ๐Ÿ˜‚

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.

Limited this to 50 mins rather than the planned 60. Despite the later evening start, I was still feeling the heat quite a bit, and felt the form falling away a bit towards the 50 min mark, so decided to call it there to avoid the risk of poor form causing injury.
No worries. I get that and makes sense. 50 mins in that heat is probably worth 60 in normal conditions.

Zone: 2 Easy

It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.

Another tough but enjoyable session – hilly loops in Broad Oak Park in Little Common. Combination of hard effort 300m and 600m reps round two 300m loop sections, with the gradients in the 6-8% range, with rests between each rep. WU, CD, and stretches done
Pace looked great given the hills. I’ve never been in those woods. Might have to check them out one day. Excellent work Jamie. I did my maths and that was worth 26pts, which is great for a BRT sesh.

A good opportunity to practice 10k pace. Ideally done on a track. If you are new to interval training start off with 4-5 reps and slowly build up.

Very happy with this session – kept pretty close to 10K pace throughout! Stretches done
The splits looked great and nice to hit that pace almost spot on. Fantastic running Jamie.

Zone 2: Easy

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Somehow managed to squeeze this in around end of half-term demands! Other than the heat, it was an enjoyable afternoon running twenty-eight 800m laps of the park ๐Ÿ˜‚ – the kids even joined in for a couple of laps ๐Ÿ˜
I love you found a way. I’ve done something similar in the past when I’ve had niggles, round and round. Something quite hypnotic about it though I find. Awesome work Jamie
