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.

Plan 3 – Week 23

I know I mentioned Battle 10k as part of the 3 x 3 mile session. The other alternative would be just to do that race. The reason I like it is we missed Henfield and it’s just good to put yourself in that race scenario and also the elevation is in line with FOD. I […]

Plan 6 – Week 17

It is the Battle 10K Sunday? Not sure if you were planning on doing that, but it would be an easy switch for the two weekend runs currently in the schedule and the training pts would be the same. Tuesday hills is with the Team. You’re going along really well right now so keep up […]

Plan 11 – Week 5

Tuesday hills with the Team. Then a nice little rest ahead of the Battle 10k. Again a race probably best approached with some caution given the challenging route. Hopefully by then your results will be back and we’ll have a clearer understanding if we need to tweak the plan at all. An exciting week though […]

Plan 1 – Week 18

I always say to the Team when going on holiday, enjoying yourself is the most important thing, any fitness is a bonus. See the schedule as me giving you ideas of what you could do on the treadmill if need be. That’s my thinking here. So don’t feel obliged or pressured to do all the […]

Plan 2 – Week 4

Really impressed with how much you got done whilst you were away. Some key half marathon sessions coming up now which will really have you running well come the end of this plan. Those are the key sessions and the ones to really dig deep and try and hit those target paces. If you want […]

Plan 6 – Week 11

It all depends how well you want to run at the Big Half in truth. I’ve stuck to the plan as we had it originally which was focusing on the Ultra. But if you want to run a really good race at the Big Half it might be worth reigning something in this week and […]

Plan 1 – Week 7

Looks hectic at first glance but we have those 3 really easy and short sessions. The running is a nice routine with each one possible to do with others and following a nice routine. This consistency is really going to pay off. Keep up the hard work Alison, you’re doing great.

Plan 8 – Week 4

Recovery week and with the Kings Head Canter on Monday we don’t need to do a great deal more to hit the target. If you wanted to chuck in an S&C, let me know and I’ll add it on. It fact stuff, I’ll do it now. I know you well enough that you’ll want to […]

Plan 1 – Week 17

See how you feel Monday and move Pilates if need be. Or you could ditch it and extend one of the 30 mins to 60 mins. The 3 x 5km is the key session to try and give you a confidence boost ahead of the Great North Run. I’ve pencilled it in for Saturday as […]

Plan 5 – Week 19

I’ve got my dates right? I hope? Brecon Beacons? If so I’ve left it blank. If you feel like a run, great. If not no worries. If I’ve got my dates wrong, let me know and I’ll get some runs in the schedule. Have a fabulous time.
