A dozen plans now. That’s fantastic, more than anyone else on the team, and you know what, I think that’s one of the reasons you’re running well right now and enjoying staying fit and healthy. It’s great to see.

Hopefully the improved posture carries through to everyday life and that will help you continue to make fitness gains over the next few years.

Obviously you’ve found a routine which works really well for you so I’m not going to change that up much.

There are several differences to this plan though. I’ve added more variety to the long run in a bid to get you a faster half marathon time at the London Landmarks.

The weekly efforts will help and given you don’t have a session scheduled in most Saturday’s, you could always bring the Sunday long run forward a day, which in turn would allow you to attend track on the Monday.

Wednesday is a fixture in the plan with strides attached and your gym sessions, now including Fitball & Yoga will be Monday and Thursday.

Obviously there is a big gap in the plan when you travel and I’ve significantly reduced the training for those weeks. I’ll set a strength session that you will be able to do in the hotel and keep runs limited to 60 minutes.

But I do think it will be a good opportunity to work on your half marathon pace. It will just depend on your surroundings. The most important thing is you enjoy your trip and don’t let running get in the way of that.

Thank you so much for your continued support. I’ve learned a lot in the past few years and feel I’m a much stronger coach than when we first started together. And that is only possible because of the support I’ve had from runners like yourself. So I am very grateful. Here’s to another dozen training plans. 🍻

Keep up the great work.
