Slowly increasing that pts target with 114 up for grabs this week. I think long term you have the potential to hit much bigger numbers. 140+ if you wanted to work that hard, which just highlights your potential for improvement, which is very exciting. You’ve got the Ramp Up session this weeks which is always a favourite among the team. Hopefully you enjoy that one. Any issues let me know, keep up the great work Chris.

Nice day of rest – felt good to have a bit of time off feet
Rest days are the best

Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training. Have fun!

Swam on Tues morning but did not fit this run in – first run missed!
There will always be the odd one, if you find time later in the week to add in some extra mins, that is good but never go chasing missed sessions as that can cause issues.

A good all round workout you can do at home. Simple but really effective. If you repeat this twice a week and slowly add to the weights you are going to make some good gains in the long run.

If you superset the exercises it should save time and hopefully make it achievable in around 60 mins.

Swam open water and did circuits PM – open water tired me out more than usual so circuits were a bit tougher
Is the open water swimming similar to being in the pool in terms of doing a set amount of time and a specific effort? Just wondering if I owe you more pts for this?

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

Did 30 minutes in the pool to just try to stretch the body out a bit and loosen things up, nothing hard in terms of cardio
You’re got the swimming bug this week. I guess the weather makes the water more appealing.

Always a favourite with the team! Keep that first rep at 5k pace and then start to ramp up that speed. Enjoy!

Enjoyed this workout, albeit found it quite tough! Tried to give the first 4 minute rep a decent pace to build on but then those 3 minute reps were a real slog to get through and hold a decent pace! Shorter reps, especially minute reps, felt really good despite being tired and pushed on as hard as I could for those – pretty tired afterwards but a great shakeout, happy with the splits.
Splits are great. You’ve definitely good a decent 5k in the locker this summer. Excited to see what you can produce with another 4-6 solid weeks under your belt. Great work Chris.

Nice outdoor swim in the sunshine followed by circuits in the afternoon, which were tough with the warm weather but just sticking to current weights!
Must be so nice swimming outside in this weather. I remember going to Malta in the middle of their summer and our hotel had a rooftop pool (back in the day when I made good money ๐Ÿ˜‚). It was just so hot you had to spend more time in the water than out. A good days work.

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

Sunday run felt so good – I absolutely cannot believe I ran for two hours in this heat and felt strong the whole way, really pleased in terms of endurance. Cannot remember the last time I ran nearly 15 miles, must be years and years ago, but felt really good throughout :)
Love this feedback again. It shows how consistency can make such a big difference and you’re in that lovely stage of the training where you are seeing the gains and enjoying breaking barriers again. So keep up the great work Chris. Another strong week of training. Highest pts total so far.
