Run Status: Completed

Plan 1 – Week 19

A solid week. I’ve tweaked the S&C slightly and keep adding those extra calf exercises if they help. It’s the last off road I believe so you could do that Tuesday if free (in place of the 75 mins easy). Next week the Rye to Hastings is an option and would fit in will with […]

Plan 1 – Week 12

Recovery week, so we drop back to 2 runs, if you wanted to switch out a different session for an extra run (swim or body pump) let me know. Plus I think we have reached the point that if you wanted to join the group again on a Tuesday evening for efforts, then you should […]

Plan 3 – Week 8

We’ve got 2 quick parkruns in the plan, this week and then in 2 weeks time, perhaps a chance to arrange the H2H? But other than that, business as normal with Tuesday efforts and a Bimble, plus a slightly shorter long run on Sunday. Let’s make this another strong week.

Plan 1 – Week 9

A 5th session as we introduce some core work. If you struggle with any of the exercises just do what you can. I do a lot of runners doing these for the first time have struggled with planks and flutter kicks, so even if you did 15-20s to start with that would be fine. Hopefully […]

Plan 1 – Week 6

Another really solid week. We’ve got everything we need. Efforts, long run, easy run, perhaps add a few hills to one of the easy runs this week just as prep for HHM. Then two decent S&C sessions. You’re going along really well right now, keep up the great work.

Plan 9 – Week 12

Another good week to look forward. Tuesday efforts, Wednesday Horntye, 2 gym sessions and then the highlight, the Rye Ancient Trails, love this race. Should be a lot of fun.

Plan 6 – Week 5

Tweaked this based on your feedback and tend to agree it looks more manageable and inviting now. This is where the feedback does always help, so I can step in and offer a better solution, so always be honest.

Plan 1 – Week 13

Remember when I said that during this training block, every week would be that little bit harder. Well this week that’s not the case. Last week you did 32 minutes of running, this week just 27 minutes. So a nice little step back to allow you to up the reps to 9 minutes. Hopefully you […]

Plan 1 – Week 6

Nice easy runs before Sunday to keep you fresh. Speaking of Sunday. I am going to be running it relatively easy, so if you did want to use me as a guide for pace, I think that would work well, stick close to me and I think you’ll have a good race.

Plan 7 – Week 13

Excited to see how Sunday goes. Coming into one of your favourite races in peak shape, that’s exciting. I’ve added in the easy to marathon pace session instead of 60 easy and strides. It’s a session I really enjoy myself when running solo, adds something a bit different. Very best of luck Sunday, not that […]

Plan 5 – Week 9

All about Sunday, so keeping it light beforehand. I did have efforts in originally, but being the last off road I thought I would switch it over, plus with Sunday feels like a better option. Very best of luck on Sunday, definitely your kind of race.

Plan 5 – Week 9

Rye Ancient Trails 30k? I’ve got that in the plan but just wanted to double check as couldn’t see it in our WhatsApp exchanges. If it is the 30 we might want to ditch one of the two S&Cs, especially it being the week after Budapest. But again see how you feel, and if you […]

Plan 3 – Week 24

All depends on the legs, but you could bring Thursday sessions forward to leave more of a gap between the two. Plus you could mix up the hill reps if you want. Pyramid lampposts is a good alternative or you could join HY if they have a hill session. Sunday is the key one though […]

Plan 7 – Week 2

I know. This looked crammed. Sorry. Just trying to get to those 100pts. Individually none of the sessions are too bad. So my advice is just do one day at a time, if the knee gives you problems and you need a bit of extra rest, take it. I wouldn’t worry about missing a session […]

Plan 6 – Week 18

This week is all about that Sunday long run, getting one more in before the Ultra. Rye Ancient Trails would be absolutely perfect for this 🤔 If you wanted to push yourself a little bit harder we could switch Bimble for efforts. Let me know if you wanted to do that. But it might be […]

Plan 11 – Week 6

Big week in terms of training points but with your trip to Cornwall coming up you could bank some extra training and take it easier when away. But see how you feel, day by day. You wouldn’t be missing out if you did need to rest and miss a session this week. Especially with the […]
