Another solid week and good to be back on plan. The Saturday run could be an easy parkrun if you wanted, so doesn’t matter if it’s slightly more than 30 mins. Some weeks we will leave strides out depending on what the Tuesday session is, so that is deliberate, they will be more regular as we get deeper into this plan. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Sue. Hope the side pain has gone now?

Session done This week we had to use weights in fitball which took it to the next level. Still having to take upper body exercises easy. It is improving slowly Could not do s left sided planks.
That does sound tougher but glad you are now starting to improve, hopefully another week or so and back to full health. A great way to start the new week. See you at track later.

Great session as hill reps force you to run with good form, lifting the knees higher and really driving the elbows back. Work hard for the 30 seconds uphill, recovery back down for 60 seconds.

Felt relaxed. Worked on form.. Happy with the session
Great work Sue. You looked strong. Lovely group along and everyone works so hard. Good to be thinking about form as well. Nice to know people do listen to me, or in this case, to each other.

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

My gym session was a mixture of fitness yoga & gym . Did the exercises in the gym not covered in the class. Still limited by my injuries. Lead the 4.5 mole to 5 mile group. Felt comfortable running in the faster group. We did do a challenging route but that my fault.
Sounds like a very productive day. Well done on your warm up as well. It’s nice to just take part in one as a runner and not have to think about it from a coaches point of view πŸ˜‚

Flexibility is definitely very important to runners and yoga can help in that area!

Yoga done. Still limited but adapting moves. Was better than last week.
Good to hear you are improving and hopefully close to being back to full health now

Nice and easy. Smile, relax and enjoy. Love life!

Done as an easy parkrun. Struggled today but was probably due to drinking wine yesterday which I rarely drink. Only in the last mile could I get my pace down below 11min / mile
Less of the wine perhaps πŸ˜‚πŸ· Although you need to enjoy yourself sometimes. Thanks for keeping the pace down. Good job Sue.

Zone 2: Easy

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Thst was a struggle. Kept feeling like giving up. Legs heavy. Due to hay-fever i had trouble with breathing . I had to walk up Galley Hill. I think my body still recovering from the fall and half. Doing 4 hours gardening yesterday didn’t help. Plus I have had a week of bad eating. Back on healthy diet now.
Probably an indication of how important diet is. But try not to dwell on it. You’ve had a good week and you kept going when you could easily have stopped, so that’s a positive. Well done Sue. And you’ve hit your targets for the week too.
