Quite a few of the team are taking part in the Rye 5 or 10 mile if that was of interest. The 5 miler would mean we don’t need to change the other runs. The 10 miler (very hilly) would mean we ditch the 45 min run and a home workout. Any questions about that, just ask. Myself and Jacqueline will be marshalling the 10 miler.

Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. The focus here should be RPE as HR and pace will fluctuate between reps. So make sure you are working in Zone 6 here from an RPE perspective, and perhaps push to Zone 7 of the last few reps.

Done. Varying speeds, but good level of RPE as required. Not feeling on it so much this week. Simon – can’t see where the new Zone info is on my PB page. Ah just found it via each session when opened – with ‘View training zones’ tick box. When I view these are they set for me specifically?
Yes those training zone stats are specific to you based on your most recent 5k time and your max heart rate. I’m probably going to roll it out across all the team in the next month so, but just present it slightly differently. Any questions though just ask. Well done on the session Tuesday, not an easy one that one.

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.

Make Heart Rate your focus here, unless you don’t have a reliable reading then PRE is more important than pace.

Stretches done. 8km @ 6’43” per km and average HR 138bpm. Felt a bit weird. Heart rate kept breaching 138bpm ceiling. So profile very spiky with me walking to bring HR back down. Felt like my HR didn’t reflect my RPE in terms of how I felt. But kept to the script. :-)
I think it’s about getting the right balance. So I wouldn’t worry too much if the HR creeps up into the low 140s, especially if hills are involved. Too much stopping and walking can be detrimental and it might be the data isn’t 100% reliable. So that’s something to consider. If you RPE feels around 3-4 trust that more than the HR data. Eventually they should align.

A really good session to offer variety into your long runs. Focus on pace for the Zone 3 sections and heart rate for Zone 2.

1-2km Z2 @ 6’38” and 135bpm — 3-4km Z3 @ 5’40” and 148bpm — 5-6km Z2 @7’09” and 141bpm — 7-8km Z3 @ 5’41” and 153bpm — 9-10km Z2 @ 7’03” and 142bpm — 11-12km Z3 @ 5’36” and 154bpm — 13-14km Z2 @ 6’59” and 143bpm — 15-16km Z3 @ 5’26” and 154bpm — 17-18km Z2 @ 7’04” and 141bpm — 19-20km Z3 @ 5’17” and 156bpm. 7 mins cool down. Windy (the weather) but felt pretty good.
Interesting stats. As your heart rate was in that Zone 3 but you were actually running at sub 2 half marathon pace which is exciting. Means you are probably ahead of those target paces right now which suggests there are some good times coming up. Great work Matthew
