Week Commencing: 25 May 26

Choose Day👇

There is a pattern to the plans, two tough sessions a week, complimented by mainly easy miles. As it’s race week Sunday it’s good to keep that effort early in the week to ensure you are well rested. I might do something bank holiday evening, but will post nearer the time, so watch this space as we had a little group last bank hols in the park. 5 miler should be a blast as you’re running great and mile 4 is much easier than Rye 😂

Warm up felt really good and then the pace started and it was just too hot, managed 3×1 mile plus warm up and called it a day.
Still solid session ahead of Sunday. If it’s really warm the park can provide some shade. Planning can make a big difference and trying to find somewhere suitable. I always remember having to do 180 mins on day where the heat was 30 degree +. So I headed to the old railway line near the link road which is completely in shade and ran up and down there for 3 hours, job done. Little tricks like that can make a difference and help us get the training done.

Back on track today and a lovely evening for it too. It all felt super easy and the legs feel strong. Enjoyed this one yet again.
How good are runs like this? Makes you appreciate your fitness and just having that opportunity to be able to do this and feel strong.

Ran with an old friend today, very enjoyable and didn’t feel anywhere near as hot on this run. Pace at the end was slower than planned but half of it was in the pebbles (planned very poorly)
Oops. But nice to run with a friend though and given the heat it would have been a solid run. Well done Shain.

Way too quick today, first 4K was settled and then the last 1k I pushed in to open the legs a bit just to see how they felt at pace and I’m feeling really strong and confident heading into tomorrows race.
I don’t want to be too critical, but yes in hindsight a little too fast. But we can work on that. Glad you are feeling so strong for tomorrow. You got this Shain

5 Mile Race

First 1k was solid and felt good. Then settled in behind Lewis Parsons and stayed with him all the way until we went in the underground car park where he left me. Everything just clicked today with me feeling like I have more in the tank to push on further still. Very happy with how today planned out. Achieved both goals I had in mind (29:30 and top 20)
Absolute quality. You looked so strong as you went past. Nice to have Lewis there to run with and that can really help in a race like that. It’s always great too when you finish a race like that with a little more in the tank. Great work Shain. Again excited to help on this journey and I think it’s going to be pretty epic.
