If you did your long run Sunday, perhaps move efforts to Tuesday. You’ve done so well over the last few months, if you keep going for the next 4-6 weeks, the race wills be upon us and then you’ll get the rewards for that hard work. So keep going Jo, you’re doing so well right now. Any problems, just let me know.
Pleased to complete most of the plan this week. I think it was a make or break for me because January has been a long long year and I was wondering if I had another long run in me. Turned out I did and it was quite enjoyable.
Well done Jo. A strong week, and I think you proved with the Sunday run just how fit you are right now. Keep believing in yourself and you can get through these next few weeks you’re setting yourself up for a really good year of running/

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 10 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.
