Week Commencing: 20 July 2026

Choose Day👇

The Pier to Pier takes up the majority of this weeks training, so we get a nice rest in the build up to make sure we are fresh come race day. Look to be sensible with the pacing and not go off too quick. Tuesdays session is nice short reps to get some speed in the legs and then a 60 minute easy run in between. Keep up the great work Xiulan.

Earlier in the day I recorded an easy walk. For the efforts I forgot to change the topic from walk to run. Efforts felt reasonable and not too hard.
I’ve done that many a time, normally I forget to change my heart rate settings, so when I do a fast run it beeps at me every 30 seconds 😂 Another strong session, really well done Xiulan

Joined the cafe run and started from Dordrecht Way. Felt good and with the uptake in fitness I now feel able to loop back on occasions. Ran within myself.
Fantastic, yeah you should be at the point where if you get the pace right 60 mins feels easy and looping back really helps the group and encourages others, so I’m glad you were able to do that. Excellent work Xiulan. Definitely feel like we are making some good progress right now.

For some unknown reason my Huawei is not connecting to Strava. Although I was very pleased with my time I found the race very hard so I assume that my RPE should be a high number. My pace was fairly consistent from start to finish. I was well hydrated before starting and didn’t need too much top up during the run. I haven’t been sleeping well for a long time.
