Posting this with a little uncertainty surrounding the ankle still, so if that is a problem let me know. I’ve tweaked Tuesday from the original plan to put in a first threshold session. I’d be interested to hear your feedback on the two sessions this week and what you preferred and found more enjoyable and productive. Any questions about the threshold session let me know. But all being well, a bit week on the cards with 145pts on the table. Keep up the great work James.

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.

Stretches done but strength was moved to a different day
No worries!! Always happy if you need to tweak the odd session

Credit to TRC for this one. A progression run, which would work very nicely with parkrun, albeit you need to do 1km fast beforehand.

Enjoyed the session was I settled into it.
First 5 mins felt tough in the first interval but settled in well
Sat in my heart rate zones well. Was surprised how much hard I had to push for the last one.
To get under that 5km pace in a training session is always tough, but working hard like that just sets us up well for when the times comes in a race to find that extra gear. Awesome work James. A fantastic day of training.

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 enjoyed this easy run. Went out early in the morning & felt good.
Listened to. Peloton class while out & something they said on it made me think. It was โ€œEnjoy the simplicity of runningโ€
Something I sometime forget & Iโ€™ll try think about when doing my easy runs.
It’s a beautiful thing when you really grasp that. And it’s why I do like to pick a flat route for my easy runs and really focus on moving well, and keeping that heart rate down. I think the importance of getting these runs done correctly, and the right intensity, whilst well published is still undervalued, and probably the mistake most runners make.

*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.

Coach Simon๐ŸŠ “Make a note of RPM & the resistance level so you can increase them as you do more sessions.” Recoveries in between intervals are the same as the effort. So 30 and 60 seconds easy pace.

Nice 45 min bike, took a slightly easier class than normal but enjoyed spinning my legs out.
Top work James, always like this alternative and good to listen to the body some weeks when picking the intensity.

Try and hit a pace somewhere in Zone 5: 10k. If the route is not flat you can focus on heart rate instead and try to avoid drifting into Zone 6. This should feel comfortably hard.

Went out around 5pm bit of an odd time.
First 2 intervals felt awful but actually the last 2 I felt really comfortable.
Good session.
It’s funny you say that, because I did my threshold last week and reps 1 & 2 I was like, why does this feel so hard? But the last rep, I felt so much better and was running faster. So a good lesson to learn for similar sessions. Top work James

Zone 2: Easy

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

Nice easy 2 hours run with Chris. Comfortable throughout, no issues.
2 hours is a long time as well. So to be able to bash that out comfortably is such a good thing to be able to do. Awesome work James. Another strong week banked.
