Week Commencing: 25 May 26

Choose Day👇

A nice recovery week with only 1 session and a shorter long run this week, just a chance to absorb some of that recent work before we step it up another level. I hope to have some threshold sessions ready to go for the following week. Any issues let me know, but keep up the great work James.

Strength work & stretches completed.
Feeling good & increased the weight on some exercises
Awesome work James. Sometimes if you increase the weights it can be wise just to drop the reps. So you might go from 3 x 10 @ 10kgs to 3x 6 @12.5kg for example. And then you build up the reps again until you then repeat the process. That’s just a safer way of doing it if you wanted to try that approach.

60 Mins Run

18 POINTS

Nice easy morning run before it got too hot. Again got slower as it got warmer to keep my heart rate & the run easy. More mile completed.
Best way of doing it. I’ve started running just with my HR on my watch screen now, with a “too high” alert on my phone so I pretty much don’t need to look at my watch at all. If I feel my effort creeping up I glance, but otherwise just go with it. Well done James

45 Mins Solo Spin

15 POINTS

Got tough bike in the heat. Enjoyable class & felt good.
I can imagine. I would love a bike like that one day when I need to boost my training pts. Although I suppose I could do spin at the gym 🤔 I’m tempted now. Great work James.

5 x 4 Mins

22 POINTS

Aborted run near the end of the second interval as rolled my ankle on a bit of uneven path & it hurt a lot. Pain for a min or so then eased.
Was able to walk back pain free so hopefully no damage just a bit sore when trying to circle foot.
Will ice & see how it recovers the next few days.
Bother, these things happen from time to time and you did the right thing. Let me know how it recovers and we can always ease back on the intensity for 10-14 days if need be. With things like this ensuring it doesn’t get worse is key and you also have the bike as a possibility of getting more pts without running for need be.

Rested due to ankle.
No worries James, sensible decision. First time I think since we’ve teamed up you’ve needed to rest which is a pretty good record to have.

80 Mins Run

24 POINTS

80 mins easy with Chris. Ankle felt good for the whole time kept it easy. Was a good run. First the rest of the day no issues with my ankle so should be all good for the week ahead.
So pleased the ankle has healed quickly. Quite good it happened on a recovery week so you didn’t miss out on any real training
