Week Commencing: 8 June 2026

Choose Day👇

I would be smart here and take a day off before and after the Alan Corke. It’s going to be the toughest run you’ve done for a while. Then we can smash out a few easy miles before a decent sesh Sunday. That’s probably the last one before making a decision on how to tackle the North Downs 30k. If it goes well again, that will be two decent sessions in 3 weeks. Any problems just shout. Go and show them how to run trails and hills on Tuesday, you got this Steve.

Walked to work and back just to wake the legs up and flush them through, they dont feel to bad after the weekend which is good not to sure how hard i will run tomorrow yet I dont want to take any unnecessary risk this close to the 30k but I will be sure to put in a solid effort a course pb would be nice but not essential.
Yeah see how it unfolds. Didn’t you break the course record last year? So I wouldn’t worry about your time tonight and making comparisons isn’t really going to be beneficial given the interrupted training schedule of late. Just get out there and put in a decent shift and make the most of what will be a very good session to boost the fitness.

TUESDAY

start

10K Race

45 POINTS

Well that went ok although I definitely think 10k is to short for me didn’t really settle into it till mile 4 and then started to gain on Louis but it was to late by then. Got proper strava tax too my watch was 39.40 which is a course pb I think so happy with that in that wind. Leg wasnt to bad either which is good and feels ok as writing this (Wednesday) 👌
To run quicker than last year is huge right? I seem to recall you were running well then. So even with this recent niggle you are in really good shape. I think you are the only person who ran that last night that thought it wasn’t long enough 😂 But I do understand what you are saying. Fantastic running Steve.

Pretty decent day to be fair rode the bike to and from work just to turn the legs over.
It all adds up. 4 bonus pts in the bank looking at the HR.

40 Mins Run

12 POINTS

Kept the effort low, didn’t realise how many hills I ran but thats ok its all good strength building for the legs.
Nice job Steve. If there is anyone on the team who can keep their heart rate in zone 2 on the hills then it’s you 😂

60 Mins Run

18 POINTS

Decent run in my happy place not sure you would class it as all easy but it was good nonetheless 😊
If it’s your happy place then no way it was all Zone 2. 😂 Those hills are tough. That’s fine though. I will bank you some extra pts though as I give 24pts for a 60 min easy run on the hills, that factors in the higher heart rate at times. Great job Steve.

Steve's S&C

12 POINTS

Well i didn’t actually do the s&c as I had the chance to get out with Jon on the bike so opted for that instead but I made sure we put some hills in to get the legs pushing hard (for the strength aspect) nice to get it done early as I had loads to do at home.
Probably earned you more pts in fact. If you do check the stats, eg time, HR for a ride, just pop them in the feedback then I can calculate the pts and the zone you’re working in. Also good to have them on the platform for future reference if we need it. Well done though Steve.

3 x 3 Miles MP

48 POINTS

Well i done more than i was supposed to do, I got confused with what I had already done and maths isnt my strong point. Was so good to be back in the forest thou it seems a long time since I have been out there.
We’ve ended up with a hell of a week, not sure quite how that happened, the bike I guess contributed a bit more. So just be a little careful in that department as suddenly it’s easy to cross that red line again. I think if you had 2 or 3 of these big weeks back to back you might run into problems. But great to see you running so well still. Awesome work Steve.
