A lighter recovery week so only 80pts up for grabs. It’s the handicap race next Tuesday with Hastings Runners? Are you around? Might be a good one for you to do as I feel like you’re running much better than your most recent 5k time. Tuesday’s session is what the group will be doing and it’s designed with the handicap race in mind. Keep the other runs easy. How are the S&C going? I could ramp that up a little by adding a few more exercises into the mix. But overall, keep doing what you are doing.

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.

60 mins run @ 6’09″/km and 141bpm average. Felt OK. Careful with hamstring.
Nice data!!! Perhaps the heat raised the HR slightly but pace looks great and glad the hamstring held up well. Good job Matthew,.

If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.

Zone 2: Easy

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

7km @ 5’55″/km and roughly 144bpm UNTIL hamstring had another little tear. So frustrating. Stopped immediately and walked last 15 mins. I’m guessing it’s linked with being pretty stretched at work and short disrupted sleep over a week or two. Next Saturday I am travelling to the Lake District to climb Helvellyn with my son. Reckon I can still do it, but probably stop for some breaks on the way up and down, so not stressing it too much. Between now and then, I dont think I should do any running. Got to suck it up. Very annoying.
Ball bags!!! That is so frustrating. But you did the right thing. And agree, taking some time to recovery is sensible. It’s clearly nothing major in that it’s allowing you to run, so might just be 7-10 rest is needed. If you’re driving a lot that can cause issues. Driving and too much sitting are the causes of my issues tbh, not the running, but agree, please do update me in the meantime though, either using WhatsApp or the feedback.
