Sunday is the highlight this week and the midweek session is designed to give you some confidence ahead of that race. Don’t push too hard Wednesday but be consistent and you’ll be surprised, your average pace in those 1km reps is something you should be able to get close to in a race situation (assuming the weather is ok that is). You’re running really well right now though so confidence should be high.

I was feeling a bit unwell today with some stomach issues, plus my legs are aching. Half and then legs at the gym on Monday morning. I did have a sports massage Monday evening to help but today’s run was hard. I got it done though. Hopefully you don’t mind the extra 20mins because the effort was low. Just a heads up that I might have a little left calf niggle. I’m not sure if it’s just in my head or because everything aches but one to just be mindful of. Rest tomorrow thankfully!
Sorry to hear that but well done for getting out. Thanks for letting me know about the extra. It’s never a problem but I will tweak things as a result, but that’s a positive as now we only need 5 x 1km reps for the session which might in turn help the calf. It’s tough given the injury history you’ve had that any discomfort will bring some anxiety but hopefully as some come and go without resting you’ll get more confident that not every niggle is an issue. But yes different let me know in that situation. Well done Danny.

Classic session. Super simple. The end result being you have a better understanding of your current time for a 5K. Work hard and ideally finish each rep a few seconds quicker than your current 5k pace.

Managed 3 1km reps. My calf didn’t feel right from the start so I didn’t go full send. Hoped it would ease up but didn’t. No point pushing through and making it worse so just eased up. My body struggles with anything fast in quick succession. It’s why I’ve tended to race hard and keep a lot of runs easy in the past 2 years. An interval session of a speed that I’m not use to only 4 days after a half PB in hindsight doesn’t seem like a great idea. Not sure on your thoughts on that? Will have to see how it feels over the next couple of days in regards to damage. Hopefully not too much.
I think from my point of view it’s getting an understanding of how all of my runners react differently to certain stresses on the body and I’m starting to learn with yourself we need to be a little bit more cautious. With that in mind just being selective with your races will be important as you don’t want to effect your training too often. But you did the right thing here and based on what you have said I would definitely sit out Sunday or run it easy (if you need it for your 8 races). At this stage of the plan there’s no point pushing too hard. I do tend to try and stick to the plan as much as possible too, but again perhaps I needed to be more reactive to Sundays run which ended up being a PB when were anticipating a more steady sub 1:30. It’s always a tricky one and sometimes a really thin line as you’ve seen this week and hence why the feedback is crucial. So to summarize. My advice would be run easy Sunday or rest. And be selective with your race entries. Bear in mind the last few weeks you’ve run the hardest marathon in the UK and a half marathon PB, there’s a little inevitability about a niggle right now given that schedule. Equally I perhaps should have reacted again with the plan but just hate putting easy runs in there all the time. I’ll drop you a message as well.

Always a great race and seems to create a different atmosphere to parkrun despite being on the same route. Feels more like a race and I’m always amazed at the impressive times that are produced in these Hastings Runners races.
