Such a good week. We start off nice and easy post 5 miler. A trial threshold session to see how you get on, some speed work to nudge up that VO2 Max and then the long run for endurance. With the S&C to compliment it all. A week like this if executed well will see your fitness improve. I’ve not got you down for the Alan Corke? Just double checking you didn’t fancy that one on the Tuesday next week. Keep up the great work though Steve.

Zone 2

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Good work Steve. Nice little shake out run to start the week well

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.

Putting this one down to experience. Heavy legs and very lethargic. That’s what happens when you park your usual healthy eating regime because it’s your birthday and have fish, chips, mushy peas, a Toblerone and 2 pints of Guinness for your dinner!๐Ÿ˜„
๐Ÿ˜‚ Happy birthday. I’m already torn about this threshold stuff, 2 weeks in, so might be the last time I give you this. Although I like the idea of big 10k sessions to build speed endurance.

All about your pace here. Try and edge towards the quicker side of Zone 7 if you can. Enjoy.

Only did 7 x 400 as hamstring tightening up and didn’t want to risk it.
No worries. Good thinking to stop, these sort of sessions will risk that. But good job on the 7. Pretty rapid right?? Maybe a bit more speed endurance over the next few weeks and a sprinkle of pace like this.

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

Still a slight hamstring niggle, so cut this short to about 90 mins. Should be fine as long as I don’t push it too hard for a few days.
No worries. Sensible to hold it back slightly all the time the hamstring is niggly. Have I added the pts up correctly? Let me know if I’ve missed something as 79 seems low.
