We are back. 3 runs, efforts, easy run, long run. Ideal. 2 S&C sessions, lots of stretching. So still a really good routine and hopefully achievable. If time is limited any day just do the best you can. Even if that is 1 set of strength exercises it’s better than nothing. Great to have on board still and would always be interested to hear where you are in the world with work and what different sites you see on your runs. Makes my job even more interesting when the feedback is so diverse. Any issues let me know.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.

8pts | Home Legs/Arms – L1

8 POINTS

Working on our arms as runners is mainly superficial in truth, in the sense it won’t improve our running much but can help with confidence. Who doesn’t want bigger guns? This session should take no more than 30 mins, combine 2 exercises together (superset) to reduce the total time.

18pts | 20 x 30 Second Intervals

18 POINTS

30 seconds fast, 30 seconds easy, repeat 20 times. Simple. A good introduction to intervals if you are new to doing them. Don’t go off too quickly in the first few 30 second reps as you will soon begin to struggle. Good luck.

Done on Sunday plus extra 6 points (additional 20 mins easy running)
Yes Chris, awesome work for finding the time to get this speed session in. Love bonus pts too. Great way to finish the week.

12pts | 40 Mins Run

12 POINTS

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.

Done. Didn’t manage anything Monday or Tuesday but not marked it as incomplete yet as may still catch up some of it. PS I have entered Hastings 5 mile at the end of the month
Ok cool, yeah if you get the chance to catch up slightly that would be great but chasing too many missed sessions and cramming stuff in can then cause problems. Great news about the 5 miler. Excellent race that. I’ll be marshalling this year.

8pts | Home Legs/Core – L1

8 POINTS

*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.

Done. The list of activities seems a bit overwhelming this week, especially given Sundays run. However, a bit part of it is because I’m out of the habit and a full day in London ruled Tuesday out. Focusing this week on trying to get back into stretching and learning the new ones. May still squeeze in a run today and tomorrow . Strength could well go out the window this week
I do understand that and sometimes it’s best not to look beyond the next session. I’ve had weeks where I’ve looked at my schedule and thought “how the hell?” but actually it proves quite easy once you start doing one at a time. But I appreciate you are busy with your travels and if we need to tweak things we can. If I were you right now I’d have the attitude the more pts I hit, the better, without ever having that pressure of doing everything

27pts | 90 Mins Run

90 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

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.

Great to see you. Honestly it makes me so proud as a coach just to see my runners out doing their sessions, even if it’s an easy run. Sounds silly, but that’s how I always feel 🤷‍♂️😂
