Plan number 7!! Time flies. I’ve made Bewl 15 the goal race, which means a few long runs in this plan. Nothing more than 150 mins though as I think that should be plenty.

Your training load has increased a little from 811 to 839 which should see a progression in your fitness. We’ve gone from an average of 3.27 to 3.53 runs per week.

If it ever feels too much, especially if the knee starts to play up we can definitely use your gym membership to good effect. Swimming in particular is great for your aerobic fitness and if need be we can replace a run with a swim.

We can improve on the S&C by hopefully getting back in the gym on Friday’s. But I guess that will just depend on work load. Thursdays are also free too.

It’s a similar feel to it though. I’ve introduced the Tuesday track sessions from April, Wednesday Horntye is a staple of the plan whilst I’ve tried to include as many parkruns as possible.

Then the Sunday long run tops up the training load. As always it’s super flexible, even more so since I’ve started using training load rather than miles. So if you miss a run, you can see what the training load should have been and think how can I make that up? As I say swimming or time on the bike in the gym are two good options.

The only other races I’ve put in for now are the Alan Corke and Hastings 5 Miler. But if you want to do anymore during this plan just say and I can squeeze them in.

Thank you for continued support. Believe in yourself. You’ve done great in the past 6 months and no reason this cannot be a strong year.
