Keep an eye on that forecast. If it’s favourable for Saturday and you have the availability then I’d recommend switching out the 200s for parkrun. I feel that PB is close, but no point picking a really windy day to attempt it. Wait for the better conditions and in the mean time we can make further gains. Any problems with the schedule just shout. Keep up the great work Glenn.

Lots of hard work this week. All good though

Another great week Glenn. There’s no getting away from the fact it will be tough at times, but that’s how we make the progress and why it feels so god damn good when we do hit our targets and PBs because we know we’ve worked hard to achieve it. Were it easy it wouldn’t feel anywhere near as rewarding. So keep it up Glenn, I know that parkrun PB is close, when the right conditions come your way.

26pts | 8 x 2 Mins Hill Reps

Big session this! But ideal if you have a hilly race coming up. Focus on good form and don’t go off too hard in rep 1, let the hill make it tough. Good luck! You got this. Run tall & proud.

Good, tough session. Managed to get a bit further on the last few reps
Great work Glenn. I think that’s the key with that session, set yourself those little targets and then push hard and the end. There’s normally always a bit more in reserve that we think and that can be very handy towards the end of a quick parkrun. Smashed it again though.

Think this is my least favourite one. Really hard work, think I averaged out at 46 seconds per 200 metres which is target pace
Oh dear. I love this session. I suppose we are all different. If I do set it again, just remind me how much you disliked it and I can always find an alternative. It will really help though as you’re running at pace there which we don’t get to run at very often. So great work Glenn. Big gains made here. I appreciate the honest feedback though as I do want the training to be enjoyable as well.

Switched this from Sunday as I won’t be able to squeeze it in. Nice pace around the town
Well done Glenn. Super easy at parkrun tomorrow though if you are there, as that’s 2 tough runs in 2 days now and doing 3 would be too risky. Something 26-28 mins would be ideal. I know it’s always tempting to go quick, but only needs one mistake like that and injury can strike. Great work on the 2 hour run.

Couldn’t get there for the actual parkrun so did the course a little later in the day at a much more leisurely pace
Thanks for running easy. It was ideal conditions Saturday, but I think that would have left you frustrated that we had an easy one in the plan, as you would have been desperate to run fast 😂
