There’s a lot to like here. S&C, flexibility work, your easy miles including a long run. Speed work and tempo work, it’s all there. We are working hard and to a decent level. 146pts up for grabs. I feel like there’s a fast 5k or 10k coming up soon. Perhaps we need one in the plan. What about the EMPG 10K? One of my other runners is going for a PB there (sub 50). Any problems with this schedule let me know but keep up the great work James.

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.

Another strength session & stretches completed.
Felt strong again
Awesome work James. That feeling of strength should give you confidence on the start line 💪

Always a favourite with the team! Keep that first rep at 5k pace and then start to ramp up that speed. Enjoy!

Really good session that went well.
Felt strong throughout with each section getting a little quicker. Pleased with the pace.
The 30 seconds less recovery in the last block certainly makes a difference
It’s always a favourite session that one and some good splits towards the end. Pleased you enjoyed this one. Great work James.

*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.

Coach Simon🍊 “Make a note of RPM & the resistance level so you can increase them as you do more sessions.” Recoveries in between intervals are the same as the effort. So 30 and 60 seconds easy pace.

Strength session done in the morning. Felt good
Spin classes done, worked hard & kept heart rate high for on the bike.
Great work James. Getting the HR high on the bike has always been my issue so I know you must be working hard to achieve that. A strong days work.

Nice and easy. Smile, relax and enjoy. Love life!

Switched to 30 mins easy as legs were a little sore after my strength workout & it was also hot in the evening.
Enjoyed the run once I got going. Kept it easy.
No worries, always sensible to listen to the body and take that extra rest if need be.

A good opportunity to run 10k with half of the session at goal pace. The other half will be around marathon pace. This will build confidence and get you used to running at your goal pace.

Really good session again. The ‘On’ intervals felt good & consistent. Happy with the pacing & heart rate.
The ‘Off’ intervals got slower as session went on to get my heart rate in the correct zone but to be expected as I got hotter & it was humid.
Overall pleased with the session & I’ve always enjoyed ‘On/Off’ runs.
Stretch completed after
Great work James, makes me happy when I hear you enjoy the session as that should be a big part of it. It’s a hobby after all. Sounds like this one went well. Some decent pts banked today and lots of positives to take.

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

Went out early to avoid as much of the heat as possible. Good easy pace. Last 40 mins was a little tougher as the temperature increased but felt ok throughout. Stopped at a shop with 15 mins left to grab a drink to start recovery.
The weather right now is pretty brutal and smart to head out early. Glad you were able to get the whole run done and complete another strong week. Awesome work James
