The Handicap 5k? Interested? This week’s schedule will be determined by whether you want to do that. Tuesday’s session is designed as a test for that in truth. So maybe we wait to see how that goes before making a decision. But good news, recovery week, so still the volume in terms of sessions, but just lighter, shorter easy runs and less intensity. If you wanted to move the 90 mins to Friday, especially if doing the handicap, that would be a good idea. Shout if you if have issues. Keep up the great work Lucy.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

Feeling good and strong ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป
As runners we focus on times a lot, but that feeling of strength and fitness in every day life is way more important. Well done Lucy

Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.

3 things: 1. It was so nice to be back for Tuesday efforts. 2. My splits are bloody lovely (Jodie is a great pacer). 3. Bonus points to me for not wetting myself on the last lap because OMG I needed a wee so bad. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
Great to have you back. I know last time you came I thought it might be years before you ran with us again. Splits do look pretty epic, love progression like that, and helps to have someone you know is a similar pace to you. Fantastic running Lucy!! I bet you were glad to finally got to not just the toilets, but M&S toilets!!

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.

โ€œNot just toilets, but M&S toiletsโ€ – bravo ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜. Legs were so heavy but got it done!
Thanks. I was quite pleased with that one. Sounds like a decent recovery run, and just pleased I’ve not heard the phrase “old lady hip” for at least week.

See how you fair with this session for now and we can always make some changes. It’s a strong all round workout that covers all fundamental movement patterns along with all the key muscle groups. If there is any area you feel is particularly weak and needs work I can add different exercises in. I like to keep the S&C simple and those that have stuck to their routines and not made continual changes have made real progress.

Feeling good this week! Is it pacers day at parkrun tomorrow? ๐Ÿ‘€
Great job, it is, get yourself down there to pace if you can. It’s great fun. I’m chasing Lambo who is running 21. Can’t wait.

I’m a big fan of consistent splits. With any race avoiding getting swept away with the crowds is key, so focus on that early pace and hold back, settle into a rhythm. Km 4 is often the hardest, so zone in on 4 and dig deep. You got this!

Yippeeeeeeee absolutely delighted with that!! Mad to think about a year ago I ran my first sub 25 minute parkrun. And know I could go faster on a cool day. Loving running at the moment thank yooouuuuuu PS send me the pic when you get it pls
Amazing!! Such a good time. You are really good at this running lark, be interesting to see what age grade it comes up with for this one. I’ve not heard from Jodie yet, but will reach out this afternoon if she’s not sent it over yet. Will be posting on my socials as well. Thanks for making me look good. Enjoy your “easy” 5k tomorrow.

Think I did about 55 mins altogether. Took it pretty easy in the race, apart from the last 500 metres where Sam FLEW up the last hill and then did a sprint finish and I desperately tried to keep up. He is so fast for someone who doesnโ€™t run, itโ€™s not fair! Looking forward to the finish line photos ๐Ÿ˜‚ EDIT: lol apparently I was first in my age category *cough* again *cough*
That’s just showing off, turning up for a jog and winning!! Some might call it rude. Thanks for taking it easy, well most of it. Great weekend by the sounds of it. Well done Lucy, PB and an age cat win in 2 days.
