Little bit of an easier week in between race weekends. So no need to do anything too big Saturday. Slight switch up for the S&C to include some core work. Let me know how you get on with that. Cut some of the exercises short if need be, you can build up to the targets over the next few weeks. Tuesday is always a good session though and a chance to inject a bit of speed into the legs.

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

Sorry slack on the feedback this week..all done. We did change the session. Legs felt heavy but pace was there for 5k target. See how i get on saturday :)
Impressed with the pace here. Can be tough so close to a race and something to bear in mind when you do run hard on a Sunday. But as you get fitter you should find your recovery improves too. Awesome work though Martin.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

All done. Few sneaky hills aylt the end but fairly eaay going :). Good job on the strides
Like it. Thinking smart now which is what we want and will bring the best results. Cheers, felt strong actually.

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.

Skipped another s and c session. I am sure you’ve noticed ive neglected these a fair bit. Will smash a good one tomorrow though!!
It’s probably something we could get away without doing if you continue to find it a grind, we can make up the pts elsewhere. You’re young enough where it’s not as important for you and it’s something you can always come back to at a later date. That said, it will help reduce the injury risk, but I’m open to taking them out the plan if need be.

Zone 2: Easy

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

All done. Bit hot but still knocked a few seconds the last one. Didnt go off as fast, but snuck a little 20 sec walk in k 4 as u can see from splits. Effort probably 7/10.
Decent effort that in the heat. That will make quite a big difference. Sounds like there may have been a bit more in the locker too. It will come, keep up with the training, normally it happens all of a sudden when you knock 30 seconds off in one go. Well done Martin.

Zone 2: Easy

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

All done. Enjoyed that one and welcomed the easy effort and pace in the heat and after the park run yesterday. I think the hr was bang on too :)
Data looks good. HR and pace towards the lower end of Zone 2, so no risk of going too hard here. Which I think given the heat and the parkrun is ideal. It’s finding that right balance, some days you might feel fresh and push closer to the top end of Zone 2, others you just want a chilled run. But all the time you’re not worrying about that pace, you’re still getting some decent gains from the run. And it means you can do more as well, as recovery will be better and you’re pushing too hard all the time.
