Some of us will be meeting up Monday evening for a little session if you wanted to join. There is also the HR Spring 5K on Wednesday as another possibility, if you are free? Let me know if that one appeals and we can switch things around. Another strong week though as we continue to lay down the foundations for progression.

Zone 2: Easy

Pace is the best thing to focus on here. You should be at the lower end or even under your 3k target here. A great chance to get some speed in the legs.

16 x 200m at 44 – 47 secs each. Ouch. Thanks Simon!
I love 200s. A chance to run at a pace that we just don’t get to do otherwise. And it’s even more fun to get such a great group down there. So thanks for running. To be clear. My Tuesday sessions are £2. This week because of the HR race I cancelled that and just did a Monday session (no track) which was free to everyone. But thanks for the £2, we can credit that to last week. You smashed it and really helped Lou too and that’s one of the added benefits of running in a group compared to running solo.

If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.

Not sure how to move from Wed to Fri. My quads and glutes still pretty sore after Monday’s session. Am going to leave strength training today and pick up on Saturday if all feels good.
Yeah sensible to take that extra rest if need be. I can always reschedule stuff if you want, just drop me a message, only takes me a few seconds. Hope the legs are better recovered now (Friday)

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.

Stretches done. Run @ 6:45/km for just over 10km, 70 mins. In zone 2 for 73% of time compared to last week’s 10km at same pace for which I was in zone 2 for 10% of the time.
Yeah heart rate data looks great hear and only spiked up an over the hills, so perfect pacing really and just what we want for the easy runs. Should mean a quicker recovery along with getting all the aerobic benefits we want from these sessions. Well done Matthew.

Slightly reduced split squat – 7 reps for each leg to avoid twinge as run tomorrow. All done.
That’s fine. Again tweaking it to suit your current level is sensible. Well done for getting it done Matthew.

Slowly adding time to your longer runs is the way forward. Keep the effort level down and continue to check in with your form.

16.7 km run, 6’28″/km, 1hr 47 mins. Will do stretches tonight. Update: was away this weekend. Missed stretches. Will do today (Mon 13th)
Well done Matthew. That’s a strong run and an excellent finish to the week.
