this is just one of those weeks where there is so much to look forward to. Monday track, Wednesday with the club, your gym session and then the highlight, the Pudding Dash. Speaking of which, it’s still important to get that WU & CD in to hit the weekly targets. It all adds up. But any problems let me know. Keep up the great work Chrissie.

This week was good …. Dug deep and managed to get everything done

Few negative thoughts been creeping in this week! Think where I’ve missed few sessions over last few weeks struggling to remember how far I’ve come, looking at others who are just so awesome it’s so hard

Need to kick myself up the bum and just get on

I’m really worried about the long run worried I won’t make 150 mins where I just managed the 120 mins today 🥴

Another good week Chrissie. Progress is never linear and we’ll always have our ups and down. This week was off the back of feeling poorly, so when you add that into the mix you’ve done great. You’re on your own journey so don’t worry about anyone else. Break the long run down this weekend into 30 min segments. The first two will be relatively comfortable so enjoy those. Part 3 will be tougher, 4 pretty grim and 5 very very tough. As long as nothing feels like an injury, just try and embrace the discomfort and keep going. That’s part of the running experience and only makes us stronger.

Maintaining your current 5k pace will get progressively more challenging as a session unfolds. So breaking it down in this nature should allow you to maintain that pace for the whole session.

Felt really good thought I’d struggle having missed a session and not feeling 100% but felt like I did ok
Really good given you’ve been out poorly of late. Track is always a good session to push the effort level. Well done Chrissie.

Really great run out with the 3.5-4 group….. had a little run out with Jim along the seafront managed to keep up with our pushing to much Think little slower in strides but feel my form was good
Excellent work Chrissie and nice to push the pace a little along the seafront. Jim is fast. With the strides I’d always rather the form be good and the pace a little slower than the other way around. So loads of positives here. Another strong run.

Good home workout
Well done Chrissie. There’s always a way and this is a good alternative when you can’t get in the gym.

Good run, legs tired toward the last 20 mins and very nearly didn’t make it to the two hour mark!
Well done Chrissie. It’s when the legs start to tire you know you’ll be making gains. Because we need those muscle fibres to tear so that can repair stronger the next day. In fact sometimes I’m on my long runs and I talk to my legs when they start to hurt and say things like “I’m going to **** you up real bad today”, knowing with the right recovery they will get stronger. Albeit there is always a fine line between over doing it. Good to see you en route as well.
