Another strong week. We’ve got some quality speed work on Tuesday, the easy run, a good long run Saturday and the S&C to compliment it. I also hope the CIRF course goes well on Sunday. I enjoyed it, and the more questions you ask the better.

Gym session done. Have done fitball class as Henry taken grandson fishing. So only did 5 min on stairmaster.
That’s fine. Fitball worth the same as the extra stairs. I only put that in case you couldn’t do the class. Great start to the week Sue.

Zone 7: 3K

10 Mins CD

Zone 2: Easy

A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. We want to be ahead of our current 5k pace though. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.

Enjoyed the session. Felt relaxed. Started to fast was trying to keep up with Kayla & Jo. Heart rate between 130 -154
Great work Sue, glad you enjoyed it and good to have Kayla and Jo to run with. Pace at the end looked really good, so decent gains from this one.

60 Mins & Strides

60 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

60 mins done in 2 parts 30 min then 33 min with walk to run who were doing 11 min run 1 min walk x3 Strides done. Body felt tired after yesterday efforts.
Great work Sue, no worries about splitting them up. Great to see the W2R still going strong and approaching it’s graduation. No need to put strides stats in the feedback to be honest. But appreciate you doing it.

Gym session & stairmaster done. Increased leg extension weight. My body looking forward to yoga
It’s been a busy few days for sure. Hopefully, even though you are on the course, which is tiring mentally, the rest from exercise will help. You do a minimal amount of physical activity on the course. Well done Sue. I’ve added the yoga pts on already.

60 Mins Run

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.

Took along time to warm my legs up. Felt my posture was good. Felt like I was working hard but heart rate only between zone 1 & 2 . Maybe due to my morning medication which can have an effect on my heart rate. Definitely was out of breath during the run.
Well done Sue. Yeah for a 60 minute run, breathing should be under control, so perhaps best to focus on RPE rather than HR for your easy runs, especially if your medication can have an impact. Well done for getting it done though. Good luck on your course.
