It looks crammed but there is a lot of good S&C and stretching in there to improve on those weaknesses you listed. Monday is a technical session at track and likely to be 8 x 2 min reps. So not as good as we’d like, but hopefully still good to listen to the coaches and might be valuable to pick up a few tips. Any issues let me know. Plan number 2 is under way.

It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.

Well done Steve. The only downside of this session was it wasn’t the best for those who did want a workout. But normally we’d cancel track on a Monday post HHM. Better and tougher sessions ahead though and it’s only week 1 of this plan anyhow.

9pts | Home Legs/Core – L1

*reps/seconds on both sides

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

I can’t lie – i didn’t do the strides
😲 Appreciate the honesty though πŸ˜‚ Normally at Horntye you will find a group of my runners chucking in some strides after the run, just along opposite the flats, so keep an eye on them, might only have been the two Lou’s this week to be fair.

A real opportunity to work on both speed and good running economy. Train faster to race faster. Love 200s. Go get ’em!

Feeling very sluggish atm. Looking forward to some tough sessions on the track.
Yeah it’s not easy doing these solo. What works best for me is a little loop I do on repeat and then focus on the times of each rep. When I was running well (19:30 5K) something around 39-40 seconds was my target which is 3:20 per km pace. So it’s quick. It’s also a tricky point of the training, soon after a big race when everything feels a long time off, but it’s each session is just as important so we need to keep working hard. The weeks will tick by quickly and to hit that progress we want we need to be on the game. I will be track Monday in a running capacity. So not 100% sure what the session will be. But in the past I’ve sent runners to other club intervals and they have still progressed at the same rate. So I’m not concerned. We can always tweak the schedule if the coach taking the session comes up with something different and unexpected.

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

I traded a few minutes for a bit of elevation.
Sounds like a fair exchange πŸ˜‚ Well done Steve. A decent week with 96% of the training complete. Take that any day.
