Welcome back!! A few things have changed since we last worked together, so if you do have any questions just ask. The goal is to hit 95% plus of training points each week. Every session is worth a set number of pts. But if you miss one, let me know and we can always add something else in.

If you hit 95% for the week, I’ll put you on the 100% club list, which has already worked as good motivation for some of the team. It also requires feedback each day to be on that list.

Feedback is done daily now, rather than per session, so on a day you do more than one session, you’ll leave feedback for both at the same time.

I really like this plan though. You’re actually working at a really good level. 94pts average is a decent amount. We are achieving that with regular sessions and I think this suits you.

So rather than pushing hard, the cumulative fitness you will acquire from working at a lower intensity more frequently, will bring you those gains.

The times it will get hard are the occasional interval session, although I’ve kept them to short reps to reduce the effort. But mainly the long run. There’s no escaping that as we build up to the half marathon, but we progress in a way you never run more than 10 mins extra from the previous long run.

The longest run in the plan is 150 minutes. I think if we include hills in some of your training, that’s enough to have you prepared to run Hastings Half.

In terms of the S&C session I have created, if there are any machines you enjoy using that are not on that list, let me know and I can incorporate them too. If you let me know the weights you are currently lifting I can add that, and hopefully in time as the plan progresses we can increase 1 or 2 of them a fraction, but there’s no hurry to do that.

Consistency wins out every time. So keep ticking off the sessions, keep leaving the feedback and keep getting yourself in the 100% club and HHM in March will be a blast.

Any questions at this stage just ask. Let’s go!!!
