NYD parkrun an option? If not Tuesday evening efforts could be a possibility. But it’s a tough hill session and I was worried it was too soon after the 5 miler. this is the last week of this plan but I will crack on with the new one which will take us up to the Run to the Sea. Exciting times ahead. Happy New Year Michelle and congrats on such a strong 2025.

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

It’s complete my last run of 2025 πŸŽ‰ 60 mins easy. On a very crisp and frosty morning. Beautiful sunshine, music and my on thoughts for an hour easy. It was nice to move my legs a little because if I’m honest I think Sundays 10 miler really took it out of me. My legs and whole body was so sore, like I’d completed the amble !! I don’t know why I suffer so much after a race but my legs were so drained and I was hobbling Monday and Tuesday. To day was ok, but can feel hamstrings are sore, like over used, pushed a little. But they will recover. I took it easy and banked 6 miles. I didn’t do my strides πŸ™ˆ purely because it was pretty slippery out this morning but thought I could do before park run tomorrow 😊 Just seen I have completed 1,057 miles in 2025 😊
Well done Michelle. And congratulations on such a brilliant year. Hopefully the first of many ahead in your running journey. No reason you cannot continue to improve. Sorry to hear you struggled a little with recovery after the race, but it does show how hard you must have pushed on Sunday. Happy New Year

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

I made it πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ₯³πŸ€ͺdespite little sleep and a bit of a head ache but it was New Year’s Eve last night πŸ˜† I went it to it knowing this wasn’t going to be any kind of PB but just a park run to enjoy. I actually suprised myself with how it went considering and my time wasn’t to shabby. Ran with Jack my son, well he’s leaving me for dust with only his 3rd park run and ran a 23 mins. Also my friend came and done her first ever so once finished I went back for her and used it as my cool down 😊 All in all a good morning, going back to bed now πŸ˜†
Well done Michelle. Good mindset to have going into that one. Sounds like a fun morning all round though and great to see Jack doing parkrun. πŸ’―

So slightly more challenging and time consuming. To save time you can superset some exercises. What does that mean? Well rather than having 60 seconds recovery after your Kettlebell Swings, use that 60 seconds to do the Farmers Walk. And then go back to the Kettlebell Swings again. So you’d alternative 2 exercises and once, then have a short break before doing the same again. It saves as much as 15 mins that you’d otherwise just be standing around. Any issues let me know.

I had to move this session to this morning Saturday as I just ran out of time yesterday unfortunately. We were out and at an appointment much longer than expected. But I didn’t want to miss it completely so got up and got it done this morning 😊 it was good to get in the gym, hoping it will help shift the extra 2-3 lbs I have put on over Christmas πŸ˜¬πŸ˜©πŸ˜” along with all my training coming up😊
Well done Michelle. No worries about moving it a day. I have learned how important S&C is with my recent injury so great job on being so consistent with these. Hopefully you’ve managed to shift those few extra lbs πŸ˜‚

Zone 2: Easy

Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.

Yes I managed to complete it and carry on for another 20 mins after the 2 hrs run was finished 😊 It was soo cold to begin with my fingers were stinging despite wearing gloves. I earned up after about 30 mins. A lovely social chatty run with everyone. I felt good once I got into it and good all the way, when I got to about 2 hrs I could feel my hamstrings were tired, I was pleased to get a half marathon done within the time 😊 good finish to the week.
Excellent work Michelle. Great to know there is a half marathon in the locker when needed.
