Big taper week again of Brighton. So we cut right back. You can swap parkrun for Tuesday efforts if you prefer? Same pts really and would keep the routine similar. I like a quick parkrun near race day as it can sharpen you up and take advantage of your good fitness levels, but entirely up to you. Let me know if you do want to switch. So close now, exciting few weeks ahead. Keep up the great work Karl.

14pts | Karl’s Gym Session

14 POINTS

Decent session this!! A good all round workout, working all the key muscle group and the fundamental movement patterns. If you did this twice a week for 12-18 months and slowly increased the weights you’d notice some decent changes πŸ’ͺ

If you combine some of the exercises together you can get this done in under the hour. So you might combine bicep curls with calf raises. So rather than standing around for 60s between bicep curls you do your calf raises in that time.

If you do this with half the exercises you can save yourself 15 mins.

*Recoveries: 2 Mins Between All Reps

Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.

Yeah looked really strong tonight. Glad you came along rather than parkrun as feel you get more out of these sessions than you do when attempting a fast parkrun. Excited to see what happens next week at Brighton. You got this. Believe in yourself.

22pts | 60 Mins & Strides

22 POINTS

Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

πŸ‘ Normally I would have went out in the rain but thought I would take it easy and do a run in the gym. No strides this week, but I did do my usual gym session on Thursday.
It was like a defining moment. Me being an absolute idiot heading out of the gym into the rain and you go the other direction. Almost felt it should be an advert for making smart choices with the tag line “be like Karl”. I wish I did the same in truth. Smart choice. No worries about the strides. Add an extra 10 mins somewhere and that will make up for it.

18pts | 60 Mins Run

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Good run to finish the week. Did an extra 10 mins at the end.
That extra 10 mins nudged you over the 95% mark for the week, so great work Karl. Thanks for listening and trusting the plan too, important to ease back 7 days before a big race. 15weeks in a row you’ve hit your targets as well, which is bloody brilliant. Really impressed. Now time to cash in that hard work, either at Brighton or Paddock Wood. This plan does conclude Sunday, but I can role over another week and just make sure you don’t do much between those two races.
