Right. Given the hernia but also the uncertainly with Sue’s operation as well I wanted to keep this plan short. So I’ve stuck to 12 weeks for now.

I’ve pencilled in some races, we can change them if need be. But all the familiar ones including the Spring 5K, Rye 10, Hastings 5 Miler, Alan Corke and Robertsbridge. Your plan links in with Sue.

I wanted to include as many parkruns as possible, apart from when it impedes a race. Then it’s a case of keeping the normal routine. Tuesday track and Thursday bimble. Although I’ve been a little naughty and snuck a few Thursday sessions in there, but that’s on the assumption you’ll be doing the hilly races. So I wanted to practice some hills beforehand. If the race plan changes, so will those sessions.

I think you’re doing great. Sometimes I worry that I’m not being creative enough as a coach or pushing you to achieve your goals, but speaking to you at Paddock Wood, it made me realise that what I’m doing is motivating you to keep getting out the front door. And often that is the hardest thing. So all the time my training plans help you both keep motivated and injury free (touch wood), it’s feel like I’m making a difference and that’s what makes me happy.

Not much else to add. Can we change the S&C? Possibly? Do we need to? Probably not. If you’re not injured and running well, why change it.
