Week Commencing: 23 MAR 26

Choose Day👇

Taper time. I get the impression you’ll want to do more this week. DON’T!! Over all the marathon plans I’ve done, those that respect the taper get the best results. I always think about Scrappy Do. “Let me at ’em”. And that’s how I want my runners to feel during the taper and on race day. You wanna run, but I hold you back, so when you cross that start line you’re primed to bash up the enemy. Any issues with the schedule let me know. Keep up the great work Lucy

Whoops I did 50 minutes no strides so I guess I’ll do this one Sunday?
Listen to the coach!!!! 😡 In all seriousness, the pts system works well in this case. You know your 7pts behind, you can make that up in different ways if you want. 25 mins running does the trick or 10 mins and strides Sunday, as per the initial plan. But if you keep hitting the right target come the end of the week, all should work well. My Brighton number and bag arrived 😥 Definitely not running though as leg is a bit niggly after Sunday. Shame but the right decision for me. Just need to persuade Jax that Sunday we should pop over to Brighton for lunch and when we get there pretend I forget that the marathon was on (tried that with visiting my parents when a big football match was on, backfired badly).

This was fine – tapering is such a headfuck isn’t it? Hope you & Jax are ok!
Club Politics. To be honest we are livid with the way they are running the club right now. And we have lost a lot of respect for certain people. It’s a shame because we want to help but we won’t support them if they make all the decisions without consulting the members. I think 3 or 4 other people have stepped down from their roles recently within the club, but I’m sure the end result will be a change of committee come the next AGM. These things happen from time to time but Hastings Runners will be fine because there are people in the background (including us) ready to step in when the shit hits the fan. Nice work on the run, yeah taper feels all wrong doesn’t it? 😂 You feel like you want to do so much more.

Hurt my back doing RDLs (old injury) so swapped for hamstring curls. A few years ago I’d have been hunched over and unable to stand up straight for three days but I reckon 2026 me will be ok with some ibuprofen and a hot bath
Ah shit, not ideal, perhaps leave them out until post Brighton, in fact do leave them out for now. Really hope 2026 you bounces back quickly and feels good tomorrow. Back pain is the worst. Nice work on the session though.

Back is ok! 60 mins easy plus strides – got there in the end *high five emoji*
Nice!!! Careful with the strides when you do have a niggle though as they are can cause an issue. Solid week though
