So this is the last of the steady week before we ramp up the training and really start to push a little harder. If you did want to join one of the effort sessions now you are probably ready, although track Monday would be an easy session than the hills we are doing Tuesday. Any problems though let me know and keep up the consistency as that’s the key to progress. Well done Mike.

12 minutes. That’s all it takes. 30s recovery between reps.

6 Points
Running a day late, but not too painful apart from the wall sits
Wall sits are a thing of beauty. Love them. Well done Mike

TUESDAY

15pts | 50 Mins Run

15 POINTS

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

12 Points
Did 40 mins run, leaving efforts for later in the week, probably Friday. Took it slower with a decent-size hill up to Silverhill in the middle. Not too bad for recovering from a cold
Well done Mike. Sensible to make that switch if you were still feeling poorly.

Side planks were tricky, otherwise not too bad
They are naughty those side planks, but will help. Well done Mike

22pts | 6 x 400s & 200s

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

400 Metres @ Target Pace (RPE: 8)
90 Seconds Recovery
x 6

200 Metres @ Target Pace (RPE: 9)
60 Seconds Recovery
x 6

2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

A really good session where you can work on your speed and form. Important that you are going quicker than your current 5k pace to make gains. Run tall and proud.

Did pretty well but ran out of time to complete the session
That’s a shame. I’d say any effort session is likely to require at least 60 mins, sometimes more, so worth bearing in mind. But well done Mike for getting some speed in the legs.

12pts | 40 Mins Run

12 POINTS

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

17 Points
Went a bit longer on a 50 minute run on Sunday, so managed 10K. No monitoring of pace, went on feel and was a bit quicker than previous weeks
Nice, always happy if you feel like you want to add a bit of extra distance. A good way to make up for some missing pts from previous sessions if there is ever any to make up. Well done Mike
