I’ve tweaked it. We can leave out the 2nd S&C this week because we get a similar pts total from Sunday’s run and don’t want to overdo things.

Both session done. Limited in gym during to refurbishment. So adapted. Left chest painful today. Otherwise ok
Well done Sue, especially after yesterdays race. Is the left chest the same as the injury from before? Perhaps just keep an eye on that so it doesn’t get any worse. A great start to the week though.

20 x 1 Minute Reps

10 Mins WU

Easy

20 x 60 Secs (60s Rest)

3K Pace

10 Mins CD

Easy

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

That was tough this evening. My legs would not let me go at 5 k pace. Not worried as I know my body still recovering.
Just one of those days. Sometimes it’s best to focus on other data metrics such as RPE or heart rate and even if the pace isn’t there you’ll still get the same benefits from the session. Hopefully a bit of rest and easy miles will do the trick. Well done Sue

60 Mins & Strides

22 POINTS

60 Mins & Strides

60 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

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.

Nice easy 60 mins run. Felt strong when doing strides. Felt my posture was relaxed.. Lead the slow pace W2R. 75 sec run 75 sec walk.
Well done Sue. 3 bonus pts for leading W2R. Some feedback from the early run. I think stairs (steps) have there places in the gym as a one off session but I would try and avoid them on easy runs, just as it breaks up the rhythm of the run. Hope you don’t mind me mentioning this. I think as coaches how we take on feedback is important. I’ve been coaching the kids on Wednesday mornings and one of them said to me at the end “Is Danny (the last coach) coming back?”. Which at first I was quite upset about as felt they preferred him to me. But then I asked what was it Danny did that I haven’t been doing and I got some really good feedback. So what initially felt like a negative on my coaching I turned into a real positive and hopefully now the kids will enjoy my sessions more.

150 Mins

150 Mins Run

Zone 2

All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.

Phew that was hot. Started at 6.30. Did 2 hours on my own. Had to keep stopping to drink.Then supported my daughter in law at her first parkrun for 6 years. Had to push to keep up with her. We were 4 min run / 1 min walk avg pace 11.09min miles. I treated it as the end of a race where I have to dig deep. Parkrun 35.23. Find it hard to run in the heat.
Fantastic work Sue, yes it was particular hot today but that will really help your endurance to run for 150 mins in those conditions. So loads of positives to take there. Really hope the run goes well tomorrow. We have booked in for the talk afterwards.

40 Mins Run

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.

A very easy run with Lisa Jackson. Was just right in this heat.
It was nice to have her down and the talk was really good. Pleased with my signed copy of her book and currently enjoying reading it. Well done for playing a big part in the morning.
