I think we should get the Chichester 10k out of the way and then reassess. Build a more consistent plan which works for you as we’ve been making it up a bit week by week. This week we just want you to be fresh for Sunday. But you’ve been doing really well and making some good progress again. I’m just glad both of us are able to run Sunday. xxx
My first 10k Since Chichester a year ago 😱 and first time doing this distance since March last year! APart from-the anxiety about finishing it, I enjoyed this race because I wasn’t pushing really hard and fitness wise I felt like I’d just been for an easyish jog when I finished, other than my legs aching and feeling my injury a bit, I felt ok. Just got to remember to not push myself too hard the next few weeks and keep the running at a sensible pace to build up the fitness and the leg strength slowly.
A complicated week but managed to fit in the training, I hope I’ve got enough points. Xxx
Couldn’t have gone any better really on Sunday, you smashed it. Another strong week with over 100pts in banked. Well done darling xxx
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.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 20 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.

A good way to smash out some cardio in just 30 mins. You should find you get a good sweat on doing this session.

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
8 x 100 metres Strides (RPE: 9)
10km @ 10km Pace (RPE: 6-8)

Control what you can. The warm up, strides, getting the early pace right and staying positive when it gets tough. You got this!! If it’s a hilly route do your research.
