Week Commencing: 29 June 26

I’m liking this. Only 2 runs, but Bewl is a big pts scorer and we need to respect that, hence why we don’t do efforts. If you really wanted we could swap efforts for the Wednesday run, but we don’t want to do both. And I see this as a decent opportunity to get a bit more rest ahead of Sunday as well. Were you thinking of Romney Marsh? I don’t have that in the plan yet and quite a few have mentioned it. Any issues let me know. Roll on Sunday.

45 Mins Run

Obviously I’m still on holiday so couldn’t do these. Did a 45 min run instead.
Well done for getting some pts on the board. Apologies I got the schedule wrong, but probably better this so you are a bit more rested for Bewl. Hope you are having a fabulous time and getting a nice break from work.

Kept this fairly easy, went with Darren’s group not nicks and he picked a nice shady one. He joined me for strides, no one else did them.
I need to be checking up on those supposed to be doing strides 😂 But well done Lou, I like the term “easy” for these runs.

Back to strength training. Feeling a bit low at the moment. Think it’s spending too long with too many people! I realise I don’t like it at all. But getting new strength exercises next week
I think it’s important in life to understand who were are and what we enjoy. And then if we can, minimize the amount of time we put ourselves in positions where we are uncomfortable. Life is too short right? If that means being selfish from time to time, then fuck em. The thought of going on holiday with lots of people, to me, sounds really stressful. I’d rather work. But well done on still getting the strength work done and some variety will be nice. I think I need to mix up my gym routine a bit. Great work Lou. Remember, fuck em!!! Although next time you get invited to a family event perhaps don’t reply “I’m not coming because Coach Simon told me to say f-off” 😂

45 Mins Spin

Another spin down. It was a new release and it was quite tough. Nick is bloody pissing me off. I told him I was away and he kept emailing messaging phoning me so I ignored it. He wasn’t booked on spin so I went on there and guess what he turned up because ro literally logged in when I sat on the bike! What a fucking stalker! I said look I’m in a shit mood and I don’t want to talk to anyone. So he says do you want a coffee I said no I’ve got to work! Ffs!
His behaviour towards women is unacceptable and I’ve messaged him privately about it, but clearly he just ignored me. I think it’s important you make it clear to him what you are willing to put up with and if he crosses the line then the appropriate action is to contact the Welfare Officer because this sort of thing within a running club needs to be stamped out. This coming from a bloke who wants to be chairman. Scary. Well done on the spin session though.

15 Mile Race

70 PTS

Only did a 5 min warm up. It was very hard the ground was so unforgiving because it was rock hard. It was too hot and I hurt my knees. Not an enjoyable day out but Gary got me through. What I have learned is there is no point me racing in heat, I don’t fair well.
Sounded very tough. Not easy that one. As you say, the hard ground is tough on the feet, and the heat was relentless. Given those challenges and the fall, I think you can be really proud of your achievement here. I think in the past this might have been one that got the better of you, but your made of strong stuff right now, don’t forget that. Great work Lou. Did someone say 7 stars? 🤯⭐
