Hopefully all went well last week and we can kick on with the training. The session for Tuesday would be with my group but AC is always a good alternative. But would need to hit 5k and 5k pace or under for the same training effect. Quite a big weekend with back to back tough sessions so if you can gets lots of stretching in during the week to hopefully keep the back loose that should help. Any problems just shout though.
Feels ok but big day Saturday has taken too much out of me for Sundsy
I think there was an element of bad luck here, given AC didn’t do a proper session. That left you trailing and the weekend was probably too much. But these things happen. Got the long run done which given you’re training for the marathon is definitely the priority.
Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.
A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.
A really quick 12 minute core workout!! 30s recovery between reps. Click on the exercise to view a Tutorial.
Rather than just head out and do 60 mins easy, this goes through the gears a little and will hopefully help you improve running economy as the speed picks up a little. It’s still a light session but makes the easy runs more interesting. Best done on the flat to hit consistent paces.

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
