LOAD: 30

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
8 x 100 metre Strides (RPE: 8)

parkrun @ 5km Pace (RPE: 8)

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

A chance to see where the fitness is at. Although bear in mind the focus of this plan is the marathon and not 5k, so don’t be disappointed if you’re off that PB. That’s a box we’ve already ticked on this plan.

FEEDBACK

ENJOYMENT

RPE

😁 Good pace given the conditions/route

PACE

Sore back slightly better this morning. Skipped the strides to be safe but did the WU/CD and steady pace parkrun, no worsening of back which is good. Enjoyed running with Sarah!

Well done Andy. I have a history of back problems, sciatica the worst. I only manage to keep at bay by doing lots of stretching. Probably 5 times a week, a routine which involves some yoga moves like the cat cow, child pose, but other back stretches. If you are having issue I would highly recommend daily stretching. It’s just a case of finding 5-8 stretches which work well for you and then doing them on a consistent basis. Hopefully that would keep you more flexible.
