Tuesday is the handicap but with Henry. Another quick parkrun and then 120 mins Sunday? Is that ok with the Walk and Talk? Any problems let me know, but we want to continue to bank some good mileage with Bewl 15 and Pier to Pier coming up. Keep up the great work Sue.

Well done Sue, yes our gym was quite cool with the air con on. Better than being outside in fact. A great way to start the week, hopefully efforts will be sheltered from the sun and we will be ok.

8 Mins

Zone 6: 5K

10 Mins CD

Zone 2: Easy

Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.

A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.

That was hard in the heat. Lovely location. Pace very slow but was the best I could do. Need to know how long I should run pre walk to run. Was thinking of doing a treadmill run in the cool.
I think the heat effects us all in different ways, but was nice to run with the group rather than miss out completely. So well done Sue, always great to have you along. Extra pts for the longer WU/CD

Done Thursday gym session. Could resist the air condition gym Was a good session. Was able to move stairmaster up 2 more levels. Finished session with yoga stretches.
Brilliant, great work Sue. At some stage we could add some more time on the stair master? It’s a machine that has worked wonders for me. Glad you were able to get it done despite the heat.

Zone 2

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Over 2 mile walk to parkrun . 10 mi warm up. Drills To keep my pace easy I ran with Sarah Denman so time was over 38 min. Over 2 mile walk home as my cool down
Well done Sue. Good to keep that easy on a day like today. HR exactly where we want if for that sort of run

Zone 2: Easy

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Ran from Bexhill to the park. Then lead the run group of run,walk,talk. Slightly over 120 min. It was tough today. Probably due to accumulation effect of poor sleep most of this week because of the heat. Had problems keeping my head up& relaxing my shoulders. Had to dig deep mentally to keep going along the seafront. Did feel better when runing in the shade of the park. Pace slow. Did increase in the shade. On the way to the park only stopped to cross roads. Did walk with the group as one of the runners was struggling at back. I supported them. Had extra fluids with electlytes. Fuel as normal Managed 10.5 miles .
Well done Sue, yeah I think the heat definitely got to most of the team at some stage last week, but you did great to still get this done. Pace and HR both in your Zone 2 so I wouldn’t say it was particularly slow, just a bit harder because of the conditions and lack of recovery this week. Congratulations to on getting a 5th star. That shows your excellent consistency with your training.
