Another really good week with the bonus parkrun on New Years Day, let me know if you’d rather have a lie in. Then 2 good runs at the weekend. You could combine the 60 mins easy with parkrun, although keep the RPE low. Then the long run Sunday, those will be key as we build towards HHM again. Happy New Year Maria.

Again not the best week but now can get back into it.Got the motivation and drive but my ankle was slightly tender after yesterday and I have a swollen toe…no idea why lol.Hoping for a better week !

Tough time of year, but don’t worry too much, as I said, you had a great finish to 2025 and it’s early days this year, plenty of time to get back on track and every week offers a new opportunity.

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Start afresh next week!

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Just needed parkrun to get me back into training.not fast but helped.
Good idea. Don’t worry about the last two weeks. I know for some it’s tricky with family commitments. You’ve done so well with your running in recent months, a few lighter weeks won’t have made much difference, now we can kick on and keep making further improvements. Plus you can say you beat the coach at parkrun today #bonus Well done Maria.

39pts | 130 Mins Run

39 POINTS

130 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-5)

Pushing beyond that 2 hour barrier is a good mental win. Important to be fuelling and staying hydrated on these runs.

Forget the last 2 weeks. Remind yourself you have been running as well as ever, and then look forward, lots to be exciting about in 2026.
