A quick turnaround from parkrun Saturday to the handicap race, but hopefully Saturday will have given you a good idea of what time you can do and how hard you can push. Saturday is a decent session at half marathon pace. The idea to get some speed endurance in the legs with the Pier to Pier now only 4 weeks away. Any issues let me know. Keep up the good work Steve.

Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.

A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.

Had to sit out a couple of the 60 second reps as it felt like i was running through a tropical rainforest with a plastic bag over my head. I like the idea of that session though and would love to give a go in cooler conditions. Heat and I really don’t get on.
I think we all react differently to the heat and important to adjust if it effects you more than others. I find it doesn’t really bother me that much. Not sure if helps I spent 6 months in WA when it regularly hit 40 degrees, although I wasn’t a runner back then.

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.

Got this in nice and early to avoid the heat – but still very humid. I dropped the strides as hamstring bit tight from last night’s session
Well done Steve. If you can ice that hamstring when resting at home that can make a big difference.

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.
