Honestly buzzing. So excited to have this opportunity to work with you as I think you’ve only brushed the surface in terms of how good you could become. Obviously the foot could prevent that, but let’s just role with it and see what happens.

I think the key is to understand that each run has a purpose. The easy runs are there to build your aerobic base so we want to do them at a nice low heart rate. If we work too hard in those runs we don’t get the gains we are looking for and it will also leave us tired for the key sessions.

Track will be one of those. The fact I don’t have control over the sessions is a little annoying, but that’s fine, I’ll adapt the plan depending what the sessions is going to be and will give clear instructions each week as to what pace and lap times you want to be hitting.

The first half of the plan builds towards the Pier to Pier. Just to make sure you’re well conditioned to run a strong time there. We then take that endurance and add a bit of extra speed to have you primed for the two Autumn half marathons.

We’ve got a lot of variety in there and there is the scope to add a few more races as we are probably lacking the odd 5k. But we can always add them in, as we progress.

In the plan you average 3.85 runs per week, so 4 most weeks. I’ve left out the cycling, but I think one bike ride per week would compliment the running well. It’s important to always ensure you have a rest day each week as it’s when we recover we make the fitness gains.

Not much else to add. You’re going to be running more and with more purpose than in the build up to Brighton, so if all goes well I can only see you improving and setting new PBs over the summer months.
