Changes made as per feedback. Wednesday morning solo hills is becoming a routine now. Saturday will be exciting. Ignore the session, it;s just the closest I have to what will be you pacing Klare.

This is why I am on the plan, as I wouldn’t have done that this morning if I wasn’t! Just really busy and a bit stressed this week at work, so happy that I just went out and got it done first thing. Have a bit of sciatica, which I think was from doing wall sits at ASPT, so have been on my back stretching every so often since then, although was fine on the run so not too bad. Anyway, got it done, even though I was not feeling it much, and even managed to up the effort a bit for the last 3 reps, so all good! 👍
Really pleased to hear that. I honestly think getting up and challenging ourselves like this makes us better people. Stronger, more determined and hopefully more confident. So whilst in the moment it’s tough, the rewards are worth it. So huge respect for getting up and smashing this session. Keep an eye on the sciatica, that’s nasty. I stretch every single day for 10-15 mins for that very reason and have done for the past 25 years since first suffering with it. If I go 2 days without doing my stretches I’m in trouble which highlights how important they are. Always happy to share what I do if need be. Great work though Ben.

Lovely Bimble as usual. Quite hilly again, but that was fine. Did strides at the end in ‘Mum’s Road’.
Well done Ben. Good to get some hills in there as they will always make us stronger.

Didn’t do any exercise today, just using this feedback as an opportunity to say (before you do next weeks schedule) that I am out on Tuesday evening next week, so won’t be able to make efforts, but should be able to do on Wednesday morning. Thursday evening’s Bimble is out annual Christmas Lights run, so will likely be fairly stop start as photo stops will be required! Next weekend I am in Reading, and travelling up in the morning. I may be able to do an early run on Saturday before going up, but not Parkrun. Sunday can still do a longer run from there if required. Thanks.
Thanks Ben. So next week is the last on this plan which should then mean a week off. So it’s entirely up to you, we could take that early, so you could bimble and aspt next week perhaps and then start the new plan the following Monday. Or we can crack on next week and have Xmas week off? At the moment I’ve got runs scheduled for next week based around what you’ve said here.

20 Mins HM Tempo

What a great morning! Really enjoyed Parkrun, pacing Klare as part of the competition and they both smashed it. Bimblers Pink taking over the Seafront! Did 10 mins warm up and 4 strides as a bonus. Shorter cool down.
It was just stunning out there wasn’t it. Sometimes we get caught up in our training and paces, and times, but that there, this morning, that’s what it’s all about right? Running with friends and just having fun. Well done Ben. I feel a little bad for Klare, given she put in such an amazing performance. Perhaps I’ll stretch my purse strings and get a runner up trophy too this year 🤷‍♂️ Although keep that to yourself for now in case prices have inflated since last year.

A bit over time as slightly longer route this morning. Did feel it towards the end, but another enjoyable run led by Lindsey in good conditions.
15 mins extra is better than 1 min less in my book. Some bonus points in the bank and a great weekend of running. Well done Ben.
