If you ever want to do the track session on a Tuesday let me know and I can make sure you’ve got the same session as the others. Although it still worked out well this week as Mark and Manami were doing 20 x 1 mins as well. A bit of variety for the Sunday long run. If that’s not possible we could add in an easy 30 mins and make Sunday 120 mins easy.

Try and dial in your 5k pace here. I see a lot of runners going off too quick in the first few reps. So keep an eye on your pace, as those early reps should feel strong. It’s towards the end you’ll need to dig deep to maintain the pace. Let’s do this ๐Ÿ’ช

Due to looking after a sick grandson I couldn’t do what was on the plan so did some exercises at home
Well done Sue for at least getting some done at home. Hopefully we’ve been able to reschedule these for later in the week.

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

A day in London. Didn’t drink enough fluids. Did quite a bit of walking. Took stairs not lifts. Tiring to make up for missing Monday.
It can be tricky to drink enough when out and about. But good to get lots of walking in and well done for taking the stairs. I wish more people did that. I hope you had a nice day?

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Felt sluggish when I started at the gym . I sure due to 3 days with no exercise and been dehydrated yesterday. After a while I felt ok. Did an extra class at the gym to making up for missing fitball on Monday. My easy run became a walk as one of the group I was leading had a fall. We took turn in walking with the member that fell and running to a point and back. I only had 3 with me. The strides were ok.
Busy day and lots of pts banked. Sometimes there will be weeks like this where the plan gets disrupted, but there haven’t been many of late. Well done for cramming so much in though Sue.

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.

Have woken up with a cold and headache. I sm not surprised i caught something after been exposed this week to a grandson & husband who have not been well. So have given today a miss.
A sensible decision to rest. I really hope you feel better soon Sue.

Zone 4: Half

A good opportunity to practice some half marathon pace on your long run. This is a tough session so you’ll be working hard, embrace that. You got this ๐Ÿ’ช

So just to clarify you start the session with a nice easy 20 minute jog. Don’t worry about the pace here, even if you are slower than your “easy pace” target, this is all about warming up the muscles. Then settle into your half marathon pace for 20 mins.

Once you’ve completed that, you repeat that process two more times, for a total of 2 hours of running, of which half will be at your target half marathon pace. Each 20 minute half marathon section will feel tougher than the previous and you’ll be working very hard in that last block.

You got this!!!

Ran hour with Sue Palmer then we joined the run ,walk , talk group. I only managed 110min as no energy this morning.
That’s still really good Sue. Important to listen to the body sometimes as ease back when need be.
