Plan 3 – Week 17

I think given work and the other hurdles you’ve had to overcome you still come into this final week of the plan in good shape. Remember you ran London marathon. This is half that distance. So believe in yourself, be confident. Pace wise around the 6:00 min per km feels right to me, especially to […]

Plan 5 – Week 8

Exciting week with Battle on Sunday. I want you to keep reminding yourself how well you are running right now. So you take to that start line standing tall and proud of your commitment to your training. “I’m ready, I’m running great” and when you hit the hills and the mind says stop, you can […]

Plan 3 – Week 17

What week with the Big Half on Sunday. There should be more of us at track on Tuesday morning and I hope to be there. No need to push too hard, just keep it consistent. For Sunday, the first 5km is the key in my opinion. Get that pace right and you’ll be able to […]

Plan 1 – Week 18

An exciting week with the Battle 10k. Love that finish down the high street. I’ll put a post later in the week about pacing that right. But you should approach it feeling confident, running well and injury free. One potential tweak you could make this week is doing the off road (90 mins) Tuesday and […]

Plan 1 – Week 11

Add the strides in again but keep them at 4 x 50m. It is the Battle 10k on Sunday. I just wanted to mention it in case you were considering it? From a training point of view we could fit in, but would need to be smart with the targets and not push too hard. […]

Plan 3 – Week 7

I love the Battle 10K, a great race. The best advice I can give is to go off slowly and conserve energy. If you go off too fast (I’ve done it in the past) the hills become even tougher. Hopefully Tuesdays session will give you some added confidence up the hills. But don’t worry if […]

Plan 1 – Week 8

Change up from the original plan and perhaps see how you feel Saturday in terms of parkrun. If you want to take it a little easier that’s fine, especially after runner Friday as well.

Plan 1 – Week 5

The hill session is what the team will be doing Tuesday evening, good prep for HHM. I’ve switched Battle out for another really good half marathon session. If you are away all weekend you could do that before hand if you wanted? Then do the easy run perhaps whilst in London 🤔 But another good […]

Plan 9 – Week 11

Lots to look forward to this week with the Rye 5k on the Friday evening. Given a lot of us will be at Battle on the Sunday, it’s possible you could incorporate that as your easy run and support one of the others. Running 70-75 mins and doing the extra WU & CD. That way […]

Plan 6 – Week 4

Recovery week, so not massive volume, but I have given you a little more than was on the plan. There is potential to tweak it a bit, let me know if you wanted a quick parkrun. It’s also the Battle 10K Sunday if you fancied that. Lots of the Team will be running.

Plan 1 – Week 12

Just 4 reps. Ignore the time, only 4 reps. You can definitely do 4 reps!! I’ve also tweaked the two strength sessions just to make them a little more challenging. You’ve smashed the plan to this point, keep being awesome, you be so proud of how you’ve done so far. 11 weeks down, 5 to […]

Plan 7 – Week 13

Split the S&C into 2 if you prefer. I like the Taper session, it’s worked well in the past and with the team doing hills I think it’s a better option. You could do parkrun Saturday morning if you’re up North already. It’s shame you’re not able to push as you hoped but in a […]

Plan 1 – Week 5

An exciting week with the Battle 10k on Sunday. If you can make Tuesday efforts with the Team that would be good practice on the hills. Keep the rest of the week light to save energy for race day. But your confidence should be growing now for a good performance on Sunday. If you want […]

Plan 7 – Week 12

Recovery week. There is scope to change things up if you wanted to do some 200s at track on Tuesday morning, but that really depends how the legs recovery from the big marathon session. Only do that if you feel fresh. We obviously want to save the legs for Sunday as well. But the 50 […]

Plan 5 – Week 8

A light week in the build up to Sunday. Tuesday’s session is with the Team but we could always tweak that if need be. Off road still an option given there won’t be many opportunities left to do that. We could always sneak another 30 mins easy in as well if need be. But hopefully […]

Plan 5 – Week 8

This week looks light on paper but that’s because the Half Marathon on Sunday accounts for 60% of the training points, so we want to keep the rest light in the hope you’ll be fresh come the start line. Tuesday morning a few of us will be at the track doing our 200s if you […]

Plan 2 – Week 11

All about Sunday’s race which is very exciting, so keeping it easy in the build up. 3 of the Team are travelling up so if you and Andy wanted to meet them we could try and arrange a pre race meet? In terms of Sunday, no pressure, just go out and enjoy it. Keeping that […]

Plan 19 – Week 11

Battle 10k as part of the long run, try and average marathon pace rather than hit it.
