Hopefully the days are ok now? Last of the HM speed sessions and then we increase that to 10k and eventually 5k pace. But let’s keep being smart as it’s working right now and the signs are good. Any issues let me know but keep up the great work Lucy.
Foot feeling significantly better this week. The plan is working!
Nailed it! 126pts on the nose. So pleased that the foot is getting better as it was a big worry for me at first. Feels like things are coming together nicely right now. Let’s hope it continues on this path. Well done Lucy.

A pretty standard HM session, good to practice race pace without pushing too hard. Make sure you keep focusing on good form, especially as you tire. And enjoy. This sort of session should feel relatively controlled but also like you’re working at a decent level. Go get ’em.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
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.

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.
See how you fair with this session for now and we can always make some changes. It’s a strong all round workout that covers all fundamental movement patterns along with all the key muscle groups. If there is any area you feel is particularly weak and needs work I can add different exercises in. I like to keep the S&C simple and those that have stuck to their routines and not made continual changes have made real progress.
