10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)

4 Mins @ 5K Pace (RPE: 8)
2 Mins Recovery
x 5

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Ideally you’re looking to match or beat your current 5k pace. This is a really simple but effective session. Working to time rather than distance allows you to do these sessions with runners of different ability. Very best of luck,

Easily the lowest there tonight. I know it doesn’t matter but I felt a bit rubbish. Went out too fast on the first few reps as usual. Hamstring and quad started to hurt. Then saw the group photo! I didn’t realise I look so fat. Need to pull myself out of this negative state of mind. I’ll end with a positive. I did it. I ran. Completed the session and Conal and another new bod whose name I can’t remember spoke to me and welcomed me to the group!
The honest feedback is good. I think your muscles may take a few weeks to adapt to the new training, especially the gym exercises so stick with it and hopefully you’ll find that soreness will go away. I’m pretty sure no-one else thinks the same you do about your appearance but as someone who is pretty disgusted at times by my own appearance I do understand it. It’s ok to be negative at times, but then ask the questions what can I do to improve that state of mind? And you’re on the right path at the moment so just give yourself time. It helps me to try and put my issues into perspective and the one person I often think about is Jess Snape and her strong character with what she has had to deal with her own life. And in the grand scheme of things, whilst they can effect us mentally our issues are small compared to others. Really well done on the session though. Well under 5k pace and with practice you’ll get better at being more consistent within the reps.

7pts | Legs/Arms Gym #1

7 POINTS

Combining both legs and arms into one gym session. Loads of exercises here so try and superset them to save time. Find the weight that works for you, the last few reps of each set should feel challenging.

6pts | 10 Mins Stair Climber

6 POINTS

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 10 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.
