Another big week, so if you can prioritise rest when you are not exercising that will help. Tuesday is the lamppost session and a great chance to improve our hill work ahead of HHM. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Sue.

Always feel free to tweak a few exercises if you want, just try and avoid working the same muscle groups twice.

Did not feel in the mood to exercises today. Legs ached and nighle in my knee. Afterwards felt better & niggle has disappeared. Fit ball focus on the core today.
It’s amazing how much better exercise can help. I did 43 mins easy run and a gym workout today. 5 mins into my run (which I did first) I had quite a lot of hip pain, to the degree I’m sure some would have stopped and gone home, but I know now by body just needs a bit of time to wake up and come the end of my workouts I felt great. Well done Sue.

40 Mins Hill Pyramids

RPE: 3-8

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace

RPE: 3

This session should last 40 minutes. Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.

So you might reach lamppost 12 in 20 mins, then next rep will be to lamppost 11, then 10, then 9 and so on, eventually returning to 1.

Use the downhill as your recovery. You should be working at an RPE of 8 up the hill, and a 3 downhill.

A tough session so important to pace yourself well. If you really want to make it challenge, push the pace downhill as well.

One of my favourite session. First hill efforts session since before Christmas. Tried to work on my form. Felt good
Great to have you back. It’s a good session that one and I look forward to doing it myself at some stage. Form looked good, especially compared to years gone by. Excellent work Sue.

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.

Did Kevin cafe run as Henry wanted a day time run. I will probably do this run alternate weeks as its nice to be part of a group i am not leading. All the runners were faster than me so I push a little harder. They all came back & kept me company. There was no where to do strides plus my legs were aching from efforts. I will do them Saturday after my easy parkrun.
Well done Sue. Yeah it’s a nice relaxed group that one and looks like the HR was under control throughout which is good.

Gym session was hard today. Had to change a few exercises as one of the rooms was been used as a circuit training class. Did 10 min on stair climber. Now using 14kg for farmers walk. Body feels renewed after yoga
Well done Sue, you are stronger than me at the moment (I do 3 x 12kg for 60s on Farmers Walk). Extra pts too for the 5 mins more on the stair climber.

Sometimes a 30 minute shake out can help recovery or just give you some much needed head space. Keep it easy. Strides are crucial here.

Nice easy 5k running to parkrun start. Felt relaxed doing strides. Worked on moving my arms fast. Cool down been a parkwalker.
Great work Sue. Lovely morning to be out among the parkrun.

Zone 2: Easy

Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.

I had planned a route that should have only taken 140 mins . I had someone in the group thst takes over 3 hrs to run a half. I the end we were running almost 3 hrs. I did 13 miles as had to keep running bavk. Weather was brutal. Could hardly move on against the wind on the seafront. A hilly route to start with. Felt ok at the end. Learnt today what ever the weather is on race day I can dig deep and do it.
Well done Sue, difficult when someone slower turns up. Conditions were awful, but as you say, when you race in tricky conditions now, you’ll be prepared and that will make a big difference.
