I’ve put the long run Saturday as I know that has worked well for you (it’s a not an event this week is it? Apologies if it is). Also wondered if you had access to bikes. That 30 min Sunday run looks a bit pointless, but 60 mins easy on the bike could be a better way of active recovery and leave you ready for next week. Any problems let me know. Keep up the great work Andy.

145 Points Achieved

Really good week again. Sunday run obviously tough but achieved all targets and happy with efforts!
Looking forward to a recovery week haha!

Biggest week yet on my record. 145 pts. Given your average lately is down at 115 that shows how big that was. Also pushed the training back up to 85%. If you feel good this week don’t be afraid to add on 10 mins here to there to boost that %. We want to get to Paris at least at 90% so then whatever happens you are happy with the overall training. We had 2 marathon PBs yesterday, both hit around 95% of their training, so it shows if you hit the targets the plan will more often than not work. But great work Andy. Keep it up.

Very tough. Liked the format of it, but the first 15min @ 10k felt particularly brutal. Pleased I managed to hit the targets, worked super hard to maintain the pace.
It is a very tough session as we are not used to that long rep but it can really help get that 10k mindset of just keep going, even when you are working really hard. So great work Andy

15pts | Circuits

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

Tough circuits and boxing last night. A bit sore today but otherwise fine πŸ™‚
Excellent job Andy!! As I say, right now, in these next few weeks, things will feel tough, but we are going to ease back soon, so keep that in your mind and keep going.

16pts | 40 Mins & Strides

16 POINTS

40 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

8 x 100 metre Strides (RPE: 8)
60 Second Recoveries

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.

16 Points
Was still a bit sore after circuits. Went with the steadier group at run club and did a nice controlled run. Extra 5mins added on also. Strides were tough but soon found the pace. Wish it would stop raining though!
Great job. Running on tired legs is good practice for the latter stages in Paris. So long as nothing gets painful. Great job Andy. It’s been raining down here for weeks as well. Bored of it now.

10pts | 60 Mins Pilates

10 POINTS

Always a good session to work on flexibility and strength.

10 Points
Did some pilates at home, in the absence of parkrun. No issues! Weather was really bad so lots of parkruns got canceled
Good idea to find an alternative and not make excuses. We have had some pretty miserable weather lately. Not long and we will be out the other side though. Less than 2 weeks until March.

210 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-7)

This is a long time to be out running, so ensuring you have enough water and fuel is vital. Plot your route carefully.

Decided to push for the 20miles today. Really great small event this one, all runners are so supportive of each other! Felt pretty strong through the 21km. But legs seized up after this and really slowed down, felt fine cardio wise and kept my HR in zone 3. Just extremely sore legs 🦡. Please with the effort though, despite the rain mud cold and hills – it was very challenging! Sarah did amazing too! I added the missed 30mins onto this and even did an extra 15mins! πŸ˜€
Amazing. It’s why it’s so good to include an event like this in part of your training as most likely had this been a training run you’d have stopped before well before 20 miles. When you consider conditions, that’s some achievement and a real positive heading towards Paris. Great work Andy and yes really pleased with how well Sarah did as well. A great day for you both.
