Week Commencing: 20 July 2026

Choose Day👇

I have left ASPT out, but if you want to go, that’s fine. Just from a points perspective it pushes us over the target with the Pier to Pier this week. Perhaps a lighter Bimble might solve that problem? I will update the assessment tomorrow, but there is also a summary of the last plan now under training stats. Any issues let me know.

ASPT

I did ASPT. I think it was useful to get moving as still feeling a bit achy from the walk (did nearly 20 miles in the end – was ok, but various muscles ached, generally different ones than after running).
Me and Jax tried to walk from Eastbourne to Hastings prior to my attempt to run/walk Brighton marathon. I couldn’t believe how demanding it was. Got this shooting pain up the side of my leg I’d not had before. I’ve tweaked the dashboard to reflect the changes. No worries about ASPT. Happy you got it done, just bear in mind it pushes us over your normal weekly training pts, but we could take extra rest post P2P if need be.

40 Mins Yoga

Did Yoga at Lunchtime. Stoolball in evening (didn’t bat). Did the efforts session this morning (Wednesday) in the park. Happy with the effort level and don’t think I could have pushed much more (but noticed you halved the recoveries in the group session – I would have struggled with that!).
I did reduce them but also changed target pace to compensate for that. So less effort, more consistent pacing, so you would have been fine if making the pace tweak. Still, well done for smashing it out. The feedback doesn’t quite align now I’ve tweaked the schedule, but that’s fine…potato patato (is that how you spell that saying?)

Assisting Walk to Run this evening. We did 3 x 12 mins with 45 sec recoveries. I am considering resting tomorrow, rather than bimbling.
Well done for helping out and yes highly recommend resting Thursday, will message as well to emphasise that too.

Well we can put that down as a success! 😊 Did 5 mins warm up. Decided that I didn’t want to go faster than 8:30 pace, and needed to make sure that HR under 150. Pace was sometimes a bit quicker, but HR under control, so that was ok. Ran the whole way, apart from 2 x 30 secs walk middle of Galley Hill and Little Galley Hill. Legs were heavy after that, but just kept going and even managed to up the pace for the last mile or so. For the first time the race did not beat me as managed to run it all and finish strong, which was the target for my first plan. Really pleased!
