Another strong week. Everything a good plan should have. Speed workout (it’s a good one Tuesday), the easy run, strength work, a long run and even the stretching. If you tick them all of you should continue to make some decent improvements. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Matthew.

Love those splits. So consistent and getting quicker each time. Look at those last 2 as well. That’s fantastic running Matthew. Absolutely nailed it.

If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.

Done.
Great work Matthew. I did like your Strava comment. True as often I’ve lost my hat on runs but was just looping for Jax on this occasion 😂

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Nice HR, feel like you’re really embracing the plan and structure. Thank you for that, makes it’s a pleasure to coach and think we are already seeing some gains.

Zone 2: Easy

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

2hrs 5 mins. 19.3km @ 6’28” / km. Legs heavy all the way. Average HR 138bpm. Stretches done.
Sometimes running on heavy legs is actually good training for when that happens in a race. Also if we do work our muscles, they get those small fibre tears that then repair the next day and get stronger. So often in my head, when my legs ache on a long run I’m thinking “right I’m going mess you up legs”, knowing that will mean my muscles are getting stronger with the right recovery. Fantastic work Matthew and another good week complete.
