Another strong week. With no track this week we can switch efforts for parkrun and do the easy run earlier in the week. Perhaps reach out and see if anyone else is free to join you on the bank holiday for an easy run. But this consistency is what is going to bring you those gains so keep up the great work Shana.

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

Ran my easy 50mins with Paul. Lovely to see all the jack in the green people making their way to the old town.
Ah that’s nice. Good to get this done early in the week and some points on the board. Also lovely to run with Paul as well. Great start to the new week. Well done Shana

Zone 2: Easy

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.

Ok, I did my planks!! Full minute ones too! I can do them but theyโ€™re hard so I tend not to want to do them!! I missed the chest press and lay pull down as the Yoots had โ€˜arms dayโ€™ today!! Very busy! I did get to do my 10 mins of skipping once the classes had finished in the sensory room while three Yoots laid on an exercise mat on their phones! I also think Iโ€™m mastering the steps!! The 20 mins didnโ€™t feel so long!
Fabulous. Planks are hard. I hate them. But they are one of the best exercises we can do, so it’s worth the misery. The skipping will have made up for the missing arm exercises and more. So a bonus point coming your way. Well done for a quality gym session. Awesome work Shana.

Zone 2: Easy

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Warm up done. Parkrun was tough today. I felt ok going out but the last bit I felt sick. I put it down to the heat and dehydration. I was disappointed with my time but not my effort. I pushed when I felt I was slowing and Paul paced me and Steve U. I have to admit I didnโ€™t do a cool down as I felt sick and not great. I still feel exhausted!! Need to hydrate more this week.
Well done Shana. I think you’ve made a key point there in that you were happy with your effort. That’s important. Sometimes other factors like dehydration, or the heat, can effect your pace, but if you keep going, even if the time is a bit slower, we get the gains we are looking for. Hydration is so key. Are you getting enough water each day? I remember when Rhys did his nutrition talk and said most headaches are caused by lack of water intake. I’m sitting here now with 2 cups of water at my desk just to make sure I get enough in after that hot run. Another sub 30 banked though ๐Ÿ’ช

Job done! All sections hit! Including 12 mins of skipping!
Fantastic. I was a little worried when Jax mentioned you’d been camping, but glad that didn’t have any effect. How do you find the elliptical? I’m not sure 20 mins on there is going to benefit you much, so may go for stairs twice just to get the best use of your time in the gym. Bonus pts for the skipping too.
