Another solid week. Larch Close might be a good shout for Sunday if you only have 90 mins. See how close to 30 you can get for parkrun, I don’t think you are far away, weather will be a factor of course. But we don’t want to do too much mileage this week with the half marathon coming up. And no need to do strides given the short reps on Tuesday. Any problems let me know. But keep going Mark.

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 reps completed with a small change, see below. A PT saw me doing my KettleBells and told me that my form was out and I would be better off to drop the weight to 16kg and increase reps to 25 which I did, was puffing after the reps.
Love the fact the PT stepped into help. Yeah the heavier we get the more risk to our form, so it’s important to find that right balance and ensure the form stays on point, albeit not easy to see yourself. If there is ever a PT around, asking can be good. I did the same last week, to get them to check my form on the deadlifts and they gave me some good advice. Great work Mark

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.

Hello Simon, I moved things around as I am due to play golf at Bearsted on Sunday and was not sure what time I would get back. Seafront 5K completed, I had nothing left.
Well done Mark. An excellent time running that solo. And no worries about switching it up. Hopefully the weather is better than forecast for Bearsted. I like that course, played a few mens opens there, strange opening with a par 3.

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.

Dordrecht Way and Seafront Social with Chrissie, Rachel & Vicky. Got swamped by the Faster Park Run athletes on the way back.
Well done Mark. A nice way to finish the week running with those two.
