We continue to make small progress and again this will be your best pts scoring week of the plan. Week 6 already, that’s gone quickly right? It does and before you know it you’ll be smashing out half marathons again, so keep up that consistency. Any problems let me know.

18pts | 60 Mins Run

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Done! It felt a bit tough in places but good to be running in the sun and breeze.
Excellent work Susie. It will start to feel tough as we add more time. The important thing to remember when running is hard, is those are the moments you are getting fitter and stronger. So if you tell yourself that, you can turn what is a negative thought into a positive one.

8pts | Home Legs/Core – L1

8 POINTS

*reps/seconds on both sides

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

I didn’t do this – I was away all day but that’s not an excuse!
You’ve done really well to this point so one missed session isn’t a disaster, but yes if you can get these done it will make a difference. I don’t know how your schedule works in terms of evenings but Philippa has just mentioned a class for females at Trojan gym. Mondays and Fridays ÂŁ5, no need to book. Thought I would mention it as a possibility if you ever wanted to do strength work with others.

I did 40 mins today as I have less time tomorrow so will do the 30 then. Today’s run felt good!
Good idea and so pleased you are noticing the difference with your fitness. Runs like that are always great.

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.

I did 30 mins today, as I’ve swapped the Sat/Sun runs. It felt a bit harder today!
Well done Susie, perhaps simply because if was back to back runs made it feel a bit harder. There is a thing called the “Rule of Thirds” which says a third of runs are great, a third of runs are just ok and a third of runs are bad, or even horrible. If you embrace this rule then whenever you have a bad run you can quickly move on, knowing it was just “one of those runs” and there will be better ahead.
