Week Commencing: 1st June 26

Choose Day👇

I’m experimenting with some threshold training with some of the team. The key though is we need accurate heart rate data to do it properly. But it may well benefit you rather than tearing up 10 x 2 mins at 5k pace, we put in something at a lower intensity, slightly slower but higher volume to improve your lactate threshold. As I say it’s not something I’ve used in my coaching before as I don’t trust a lot of the HR data, but it is something I’m keen to include if you wanted to try? Any issues with the schedule just shout. Keep those photos coming.

10 x 2 Mins

24 POINTS

Only managed 4hrs sleep. Did a 30min run outside in the heat plus stretches. I’ll try and do some intensity tomorrow . The park by the hotel is very small but I noticed it had some stars in it so may do 10min warm up, some stairs / recovery repeats and 10mins warm down. It will be an absolute sweat fest but…
Decent effort considering and you were moving pretty well, Zone 3 so extra pts banked. I’ve not got your HR data yet on the dashboard. If you ping over your max heart rate I can get all the HR zones updated too which is proving a useful data set to have.

40 Mins Run

12 POINTS

Tried doing the stairs. Did them 11 times with some recovery but didn’t really seem to do anything more for my heart rate than the easy run so decided to go back to the easy run to finish the 40mins.
Fair enough, sensible to change it up, but well done for getting the time in. Good job Chris

Was hoping to catch up on sleep but jet lag still said otherwise. After laying there from 2am to 5am I decided to go for a run. 30mins progressive. Average 5min kms and 144 HR, so zone 3 I think. Hopefully I sleep through tmrw. Currently averaging about 4 hrs per night since Sunday …
That upsets me just thinking about that. Hope you do catch up. Sometimes just one amazing night can make the difference. I like the zone thinking though, that’s a good mindset I want my runners to be in as it works well with the pts. Some days if you’ve only got 30 mins available and need to bank some pts you can simply push the pace to get them.

90 Mins Run

On a plane
I was almost going to right “and?” then 😂 as if running up and down the aisle for 90 mins was an option.

Rest Day

Came home broken on Saturday late PM after 24hrs+ of travel and rubbish sleep all week. 22hrs available between landing yesterday and taking off at 11am today…! Went to bed at 8pm in the hope I could get up at 4:30am and run 2hrs before heading to the airport again. Managed the 4:30am get up but after 20mins of running the body and mind gave a firm no to anymore. Made it to 5km and called it a day. 5km is better than 0km though right :)
No worries Chris. Yeah 5km is always better than nothing and that’s a good way of looking at it. We always new these weeks were going to be a bit up and down due to your commitments, but you’re still doing really well. So important to always take the positives. And combined the pts from last week and this week and you’d be very close to the target.
