I appreciate this week we might need to make some changes to the schedule, so just me know if we need to switch anything around. There is a long run with HR on Xmas Eve and also a Christmas Day parkrun that could be options. Then Sunday a group of us are doing the EOY 10 Miler in Staplehurst. If any of them sound appealing just let me know. Merry Christmas Dan. 🎄
Considering Xmas week it went ok untill Sunday. Somehow put my back out Sat afternoon. Pain right at the bottom of the back into the glutes and down the legs. Will keep you updated. 😊
Ah yeah, that sciatica potentially. Lots of stretching. I had that in my early 20s and that’s when I started stretching everyday. Have done that for the past 25 years and glad to say it’s never come back. A good week all the same given it was Xmas. Hope the back eases off.

A solid workout covering all key muscles groups in the legs & core. 30 second recovery between reps! Enjoy 💪
*Recoveries:
120 Seconds for the 5 Mins Reps.
90 Seconds for the 2 Min Reps.
A good session to start off with your 5k pace and then pick up the speed as we move into the shorter reps. See if you can finish with your fastest lap in that final rep!!
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
80 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
