I’ll put something together for Monday morning as I need to do a session myself and will be nice to do it early. We are still early in the plan so improvement will take a bit longer, which means we can head into Sunday’s race with no pressure or expectation and just go out and run your best and see what happens. Any problems let me know, but keep up the good work Heidi.

If doing this as a threshold session, keep the HR below LT2. If not focus on hitting those paces or working to an RPE of 7/10.

3 x 8 mins was done around 9.50 pace.
Well done Heidi, that’s in your 10k zone which is ideal, especially in that heat. Great to have you along and an excellent start to the week

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.

Had a rest day today instead.
That’s ok, important to listen to the body when it needs extra rest.

60 min easy run at a 10.40 min mile.
Well done Heidi. Does that feel easy at that pace? No need to answer that by the way, just making you think about ensuring the effort (RPE) is down at a 3-4 for these runs.

*reps/seconds on both sides

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.

This didnโ€™t happen so I know I am 10 points short this week.
We won’t always hit our targets, so don’t worry too much, especially this early in the block.

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.

Done! Average of 9.22 per mile according to Strava. Think I was around 47 mins so a minute slower than last year. Felt strong and steady though.
Great running Heidi. It sounds like you ran a strong and enjoyable race. Could you have gone a bit quicker? Perhaps, but that is what we learn as we do more races and get to judge are pacing better. Sometimes going that bit slower and feeling much stronger leads to a better experience. I think as we continue to train smart you will see the paces improve and the times come down. But right now this is very good result.
