I have put the 5 mile race in there. Hopefully you are keen to do it. I think Jax will be running. A good chance to just be part of the Team Orange and HR community without any pressure or expectations on running a quick time (that will come with patience and consistency). If you prefer not to do it and stick to a more familiar schedule, let me know. Keep up the great work Shana.

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.

Replaced and agreed by Coach Simon! Efforts in the park instead. I sat the third 8 min rep out as I think I was too dehydrated! I did manage 5 200m reps though. On Strava it said I did my 8mm reps in 11mm but I was similar to Heidi. I think I forgot to stop my watch after my second rep. Note to self – hydrate!
Yeah in those conditions staying hydrated is definitely key. But we’ve banked 23pts here when the target was 18 and hopefully being in the group was a more positive experience than heading out solo for 60 mins run. So all in all a great way to start the week. Excellent work Shana.

Zone 2: Easy

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.

Didn’t manage all the items on the strength list. Did do 5 mins of skipping though after the Magic Stairs. Job done!
The Magic Stairs is always you best pts scorer and if you are short on time for the S&C I would prioritise the leg stuff. But the skipping will always make up for some of that, so max pts incoming. Well done Shana.

Zone 2: Easy

5 miles is a really tough distance to get right. Rest assured, this is tough. The first mile is so important, don’t go off too quick and you’ll set yourself up for a strong race. Pace should be right at the top of your Zone 5, 10k target. Towards the end you’ll be working in Zone 6 though from an RPE and heart rate perspective.

Well I thought I could do better than that! It’s only just over my last 5 mile race which was a couple of years ago. I just felt slow today! 10mm felt tough!! Which played with my head. I did it though. And although there were no great moments I felt I did my best. Like you say it’s something to work on. Thank you for yours and Jax’s support! Let’s find a new race to work towards!!
The most important thing is to come away saying “I did my best today”. Some days that won’t be enough to hit your target, but that’s ok, others it will. And I think the more we build your fitness and the more often you put yourself in positions where “running is hard” the more comfortable and confident you will feel to keep going at that pace. For me it’s just great you’re part of it again, we love having you there. I think as a first race back it was a big success. In terms of other races. Jax is thinking about doing the Romney Marsh 10k in July, it’s quite soon but could be a good one to get another race under your belt. The Barry Richards 10k in August another obvious one to aim for. Have a think and keep up the great work Shana
