I’ve tried to put really short sessions in because you mentioned the lack of availability for Monday – Wednesday. Do what you can. I can always tweak the plan if you are not able to get anything done. For Sunday stick with your progressive miles approach with Cathy. If it’s a little over or under 100 mins that’s fine. Any problems let me know.
I spent the week tired but was work and life related. In any normal week the running would have been fine. Got it done and got it done properly thoug so happy with that!
Sorry to hear you are injured. Hope nothing too serious
Yeah great work Chris. Another solid week banked, especially if there were external demands to deal with too. I’m ok thank you for asking. I’ve actually been injury free for 19 consecutive training plans. Then after Chester I thought to myself let’s take a break from plans for a a few months before diving into training for Brighton. What happened? First week off plan. Got injured 🤦♂️ You gotta laugh really. But I like to take the positives and it’s really opened my eyes to the how beneficial cross training can be and I think that might be my opportunity to increase my training pts without doing more miles and I’m always looking to experiment and learn through my own training.

A nice solid core workout. Only takes 10 mins. You got this.
10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace RPE: 3
20 x 60 Seconds @ Fast Pace RPE: 9
(60 Second Recoveries)
10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace RPE: 3
Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. You should feel like you’re working at a very high effort level towards the last 15 seconds of each rep. Go get ’em!

Just an opportunity to get some more miles in at marathon pace and really dial those splits in. Come race day we want marathon pace to feel comfortable.
Slowly adding time to your longer runs is the way forward. Keep the effort level down and continue to check in with your form.
