A week to really look forward too. You’ve achieved your goals so it’s a stress free HHM, where you can just go out and enjoy yourself and soak up the atmosphere. What a lovely position to be in. I can’t wait. Again, the same applies to what we discussed before. As a level 2 coach now you can play a big part Sunday by building others confidence. The likes of Chrissie and Sarah T will look up to you and really value some positive comments. Any issues with the schedule let me know. But make a difference this week Lou.

30-45 Mins @ Varied RPE

A good mix of cardio and strength work. Can be a fun session! Have a good one 🥊😁

25pts | Timed Taper (HM)

25 POINTS

Recoveries: 120 Secs for the 12 mins, 60 Seconds for the 1 min reps.

A really good session to do as a group the week in the lead up to a half marathon. It gives you an opportunity to run a few miles at goal pace and also get some speed in the legs. Be sure to stick to HM pace though, any quicker and it defies the object of the session and you will be tired on race day.

I know you said don’t run really fast on the one min reps but it’s too tempting. Still getting my half marathon pacing wrong. Pretty sure running at 10k pace. Still feeling very fatigued this week. It didn’t feel like it was a light week between two halfs. That and all the socialising. Even my watch is warning me I’m Struggling to recover.
Maybe a bit quick here and as you say, the extra socialising may have played a part. From what you have said in this feedback. My advice is ditch one of the other sessions this week. Whether it be Wednesday run or the Spin Class. Save the legs now for Sunday if you are feeling tired. Or just take it day by day and make the decision then. But there is definitely scope to ditch a session, you won’t fail to hit your target as I will just tweak it. Important to listen to the body, especially at this stage of the plan where we have these two big races in 3 weeks.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Leading again. Had a big group but Cassie was there. I made a suggestion in the coaches group about nominated another person if the group are big. Only two people put a thumbs up. Any changes seem futile
Good idea that. And especially if you have someone like Cassie who knows what she is doing. Looked like you had a very good group and appreciate you leading. Sarah T ran with you and said how good it was because there was little stopping and said at the end of her feedback “felt great” 😁

Got this done. Im getting a pb, it’s a trainer from the gym. ☺️I’ve explained I want s&c to compliment my running so I’ll tell him my cardio plans and then he’ll put the s&c in around it ☺️
Well done Lou and that’s cool. Once you have the routine we can always create a session in the dashboard with the exact exercises. I did that myself a few years ago. Looking back I paid over the price. £60 per month I think and was 8 exercises each time consisting mainly of the basic stuff like squats, split squats, planks etc. I feel like my own gym routine now is better than what I paid all that money for. I’m sure your guy will be better though.

66pts | Half Marathon (Race)

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.

Well going into it was aiming for 2.10 then Klare said 9.30 min miling but I knew we were going to do because the pace dropped off on queens way. I was struggling to keep her going 😕 don’t think my pep talks helped probably why o got sent off. Anyway had a fantastic finish so strong! And had quite a nice day out. Except for killing Klare not great!
Glad you enjoyed it. I think Klare probably just had one of those days and sometimes there is not much you can do as a coach to change that. Sounds like you had a great finish though which must have been a lot of fun. Awesome running Lou
