Hi Dan, this is the tweaked schedule we have discussed. I like the idea of delaying the week off. Seems silly not to take advantage of the week off work. Some decent points up for grabs. Happy New Year

A day of doing absolutely nothing and I mean absolutely nothing. Beautiful. Watched the first Avatar in the evening. Good film.
Good to have a day like that from time to time. I enjoyed the first Avatar at the cinema back in the day but not sure I’ve seen the last 2.

Change of plans a little. Moved Fridays rest day to Tuesday. Pops had a friend over all day so never really had chance to do anything apart from play just dance. Although Avatar 2 was watched in the evening.
No worries. Just Dance must be worth some pts right? 😂 Will you be going to the cinema now to watch the 3rd one?

8 x 800 Metre Reps

2 days rest got my training readiness back in shape. S&C done in the morning. Session done in the afternoon. 15 minute warm up. 8x 800 all done between 3:03 – 3:07. Happy with that effort considering it wasn’t on the track and was round a cold slippery tear drop lake. 10 minute cool down.
Fantastic. Yeah they are good splits given the conditions. That consistency is exactly what we want. It’s good to also remember those splits and hopefully when we do 800s again in the future you can be a few seconds quicker. 50pts in one day though is brilliant, so really well done Dan.

70 Mins & Strides

25 POINTS

After an afternoon session yesterday and only 6 hours sleep due to NYE (no drink) rolling out of bed at 7.40 and running at 8.20 in the cold was tough going. Legs were a little heavy at park run. 70 chatty easy minutes followed by strides to finish.
Well done Dan! Yeah never easy when you’ve not slept great, good thing it was an easy run today. Thanks for getting the strides done as well. Quarter of a century points banked 💯

Dan's S&C

15 POINTS

Avatar 3 at the cinema in the afternoon. S&C completed whilst watching the darts.
The darts was quality. I once went to an affiliate conference in London and William Hill and Gary Anderson and the MC bloke on their stand. You got to throw 3 darts against him and win a T-shirt if you scored more than 60 I think it was. My first dart missed the board 😂 Then my wife at the time who had never thrown a dart in her life hit treble 20 with her first arrow. You couldn’t make it up. Great work on both the S&C and the Avatar viewing this week.

130 Mins

39 POINTS

130 easy minutes completed. It was a little cold and slippery out there. Had a gel at mile 5 and 10. Finished off with a couple of strides to wake the legs up ready for tomorrow.
I’m just hoping we get through to tomorrow without anyone slipping on the ice and doing themselves some mischief. Great work Dan.

X Country

Apart from being cold, was actually okay today. Ground was solid so used trails instead of spikes. A good warm up although never really warmed up LOL. The race went okay and was a solid effort. Started okay and felt I got stronger as the race went on. Found my groove in the last mile. Cool down complete. The last mile when I pushed the pace, I responded and had another gear to go into. Need to get my race confidence back as there is more there.
Well done Dan, from the way you are talking now it feels like a confidence issue. Once that comes back I think we’ll see that improvement in times and that ability to go harder from the start. What actually worked for me was watching You Tube videos of runners like Nick Bester and even Crown my Run. I started to realise how hard these guys were working and quite early in a race or 5k. I’ll never be as quick as them, but I say to myself, I can work as hard as them. So try and replicate that effort. Both worth a watch if you’ve not seen them yet.
