So a real mixture this week. If you wanted to do the long run Saturday you could always do the Progression run Friday. Marathon pace should feel fairly comfortable still right now, but it’s just good to practice pushing that little bit harder on the long run as it can help with running form. Any problems let me know. But let’s keep up this positivity energy we’ve had over the last few weeks. 140pts is the biggest week in this plan so it will be tough, but marathon training is meant to be right? Keep going Andy.

A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.

Really enjoyed this intervals session. Liked the format very much. Felt very strong but controlled in the 8x2mins and ran quicker in the 8x1mins. Kept thinking about running form as well which helped feeling strong. Made life difficult with a big uphill during cool down (back to the car outside Sarah’s gym), but overall really happy this evening.
Great work Andy and love the fact you are thinking about form too.

40 Mins & Strides

40 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100m Strides

Zone 7: 3k

Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.

Tough conditions tonight. Wet cold windy, but got to run club and did some extra to 6km. Strides at the end we’re tough but hit targets
Love those that round it up. Even an extra 2 mins can make a small difference. Bonus pt for your efforts. Well done Andy

A good opportunity to practice some marathon pace on your long run. Crucial if you have a time in mind. Also sometimes a good option to add some variety to a normal 2 hour long run.

Did this on Saturday, combined with parkrun. First 15mins felt horrendous but then felt fine after that. Parkrun definitely helped in the middle. Did Pilates at home later, was a bit sore but no issues
Wow. Big day. Often it takes a while to settle into your pace, so always something to remember for sessions going forward. But great work Andy

A challenging but rewarding session where you can experience what it feels like to run at different paces.

Was a bit tired going into this after Saturday. I predicted that the Marathon, 1/2 and 10mile paces would be fine, but id struggle in the 10k, 5k and 3k’s. The start/warm up felt rubbish again but then felt stronger as I went on. Actually managed to be at/under targets for all splits, except the last 3k one where I ran out of steam a bit. But worked super hard and pleased with efforts.
Firstly, fantastic work and well done for hitting the splits. But this is a good lesson not to doubt yourself or second guess how a session will go. Best mindset is to just say “see what happens”. Then as the run unfolds you’ll often find you feel better than expected. Excellent work Andy
