  • January 19th - 25th

It’s definitely a cautious start but I always like to take this approach when possible. As I say if you want to join a group efforts, I’m not totally against that we would just need to be careful. Track on Monday is 30 mins of efforts, Tuesday evening, 40 mins. Tuesday track (10-11) also an option, only a handful of us use it and often we do our own thing, but it’s still nice to have others around to train with. Any issues let me know. Just click on the green plus to view more details. Great to have you on the team.

Completed. Apart from the wall sits, nothing too obnoxious
Well done Mike. Yeah the wall sits are always tough. It’s sensible to start off nice and light, and then we can build on it slowly. Thanks for the feedback.

18pts | 20 x 30 Second Intervals

18 POINTS

30 seconds fast, 30 seconds easy, repeat 20 times. Simple. A good introduction to intervals if you are new to doing them. Don’t go off too quickly in the first few 30 second reps as you will soon begin to struggle. Good luck.

Pretty good. Last 4-5 intervals got harder, will need to be more restrained for the earlier part of the session. Uphill cool-down was tough, had to walk for a minute or so.
Well done Mike. Pacing is everything. Learning our paces for each distance makes such a difference. We then need to be disciplined to stick to those paces. If you get it right running is so much more fun as you’ll be able to hit consistent splits and run much stronger sessions and races. The one problem with living up on a hill is the CD, I have the same issue. So a bit of walking is fine.

All done, though seemed harder on thighs than core
Well done Mike, yeah the flutter kicks do work the thighs as well. It might be that the quads are a weakness and that’s why you felt it there more. But keep smashing these sessions out and you’ll get a lot stronger.

12pts | 40 Mins Run

12 POINTS

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Easy apart from the wind! Went a bit over 40mins, and probably could have carried on further but will save for Saturday
Well done Mike. I’m not sure you’re on the Strava group yet. If you follow me on there I can send you a link. It’s easier for me to track your runs that way. If come the end of the week the training feels too easy we can increase the pts for next week. We just want to make sure we don’t dive in the deep in and get a niggle before you’ve even got started.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Went pretty well. More consistent pacing but flagging a little in the last couple of Km
Well done Mike. I think that suggests we have been smart to start off nice and steady. You’ll see that improvement in your endurance as you stay consistent with the training.
