Choose Day👇

Still just building slowly. If you wanted to do the exercises set by the movement coach I would advise leaving out one of the circuits sessions so we don’t overdo things too early on the plan. Hopefully another achievable week and you start to feel stronger as the minutes increase. Keep up the strong work Lucy.

Skipped circuits this morning. My body was telling me I needed a rest. I had a big day out yesterday (surprise for my birthday) where we walked close to 9 miles so was very tired from that! Shall I re-arrange this circuits session to another day?
That’s fine, it’s important to listen to the body and take the rest when needed. Would Thursday and Saturday be a possibility for a class this week? We could then have Friday as a rest day. We just want to avoid back to back days of strength work. Alternatively you could do a double day with a 50 min run and circuits on Wednesday, but that might be too much at this stage of the plan.

50 Mins Run

Really busy work day so managed the run, not the stretches. The run was good. Felt some tenderness above ankles, inside leg, but not major. Ran for just under 50 mins and it felt okay, feels like I am getting back into it slowly!
That’s great to hear. Pleased to hear you felt strong. Niggles are going to be common theme in marathon training. Even when fighting fit I’ve had aches and pains during a marathon plan. So it’s good to understand your body and realise what is just a niggle and what might turn into something worse. The general advice, and it’s very general, is if the pain is 4/10 or less, keep going, if it’s higher, stop. Our bodies are pretty amazing and I myself have experienced niggles or injuries that hang around for 2-3 weeks and I just carry on and suddenly they disappear. No worries on the stretches, I think with those we can real flexibility to switch days, so do them when you get the chance.

Didnt manage to do the circuits or spin today. Had a hectic work day and was just exhausted.
Sorry to hear that. I do understand. If the weekend does throw up and opportunity to squeeze one in then great, but no worries if not, especially this early in the plan.

70 Mins Run

21 POINTS

70 mins – did 9.6km. It felt really good. Despire it pouring down with rain and getting soaked. It did get me over the idea of running in the rain and I think I’m cool with that now (which us great with the weather we have coming up). Legs felt fine afterwards too which I am taking as a big positive. The run I did was up the biggest of hills (look on strava, its insane) and I managed it well. I havent run up this hill in a while, so it was never going to be my quickest time, and did walk a few times, but overall, it was good. I even managed to pick the pace up on this run, whilst keeping it easy. And stretches done too
I love this feedback. So much positives to take. You clearly have a strong mindset and that is going to be a real asset in the marathon training. To feel that good in a run in those conditions and with a tough climb, is fantastic. Really strong vibes going forward and highlights this sensible early approach we’ve taken has been working well. Great work Lucy!!
