I’ve left out the Spring 5K. We don’t really want to be doing a fast 5k the same week as a half marathon. There is the option of running it easy? Monday I’ll put on a free group session, which will be 200 metre reps as that will be suitable for everyone, even those planning on doing the Spring 5K and I’ll run myself, just a friendly bank holiday session. As for Sunday, you’re running great and have that 2:19 at Paddock Wood already in the bank, so this is a free hit really to push for a slightly quicker time if you wanted. But anywhere around 2:20 would be another excellent performance.

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

Managed bike, crosstrainer and walk on treadmill ok Knee was sore on stairmaster. Managed leg weights. Know now getting a good time Sunday is impossible. Feeling down as its been my focus for the last few months. Will try a slow 5k tomorrow evening if I am ok when I warm up. Otherwise I drop out.
Well done Sue for getting some stuff done. I understand your disappointment. Sometimes there are things which are just out of control and we have to accept that’s the case. Hopefully the fact you’re already run a brilliant half marathon this spring eases that frustration a little. I would say see what Sunday brings. Still 6 days for the pain to ease up a little ๐Ÿคž

Zone 2: Easy

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 30 min bike 15 min stairmaster 15 min crosstrainer. Felt good.
Well done Sue, definitely the same, if not better than a 60 min run. Of the 3 I find the bike is the least beneficial, simply because it’s just so hard to get the heart rate up. Perhaps you find it different though.

Instead of going to Sue P class I did moves & position at home which were comfortable to do. Noway will I be able to do planks etc.
That’s a sensible decision. Really hope you feel better soon Sue

Half Marathon

Half Marathon

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace

RPE: 3

13.1 Miles @ HM Pace

RPE: 6

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.

Half Marathon completed in official time.2 .24.58. Distance 13 .26 miles I had a dull pain in left side of my chest every time my left foot touched the ground so fairly happy with time considering. Route has lots of twisting and sharp turns especially round the city. Great atmosphere. As you in the pen for s longtime the first mole was my warm up. Due to numbers of runners hard to pass runners in the first few miles. Weather prefect for running.
Fantastic running Sue, especially given the discomfort you had to ensure throughout this run. Another strong time and a great finish to what has been a really good Spring.
