March 9th - 15th

Big one Sunday! So the rest of the week is relatively light to prepare for that. We chuck in a little bit of speed on Tuesday to keep the legs ticking over. But otherwise it’s about ensuring you are well rested for Sunday’s 20 miles. Any problems let me know. Let’s keep this streak alive.

MONDAY

Had a rest. Right calf was a little tight after Sunday

Glad you were able to get some rest. Most of the hardest weeks are done now so hopefully the body will feel better as we reduce the training pts.

Good session. Worked hard (found it hard) but got all my intervals in, and under targets. Felt strong

Fabulous. I feel like the splits and feedback have really picked up on this consistent streak you are on. The two go together. So keep it up. This could be a big year for you and Sarah if you stick with this training mentality. Great work Andy

WEDNESDAY

15 Points

Particularly tough circuits and boxing, but worked hard. Lots of full body exercises, good session.

Sounds perfect. I’d be worried if the feedback had the word “easy” in there. Great work Andy

Nice run at run club tonight. I led the steadier 5k group and really enjoyed pacing everyone.

It’s a very rewarding experience isn’t it? Well done Andy

FRIDAY

Pilates on home with the youtube series from Runna. All good!

Quality work. I might have to check these out to add some variety to my own stretching routine. Well done Andy

SATURDAY

Was tempted to run parkrun but decided to heed the rest day! Had a walk down to local parkrun and barcode scanned instead!

Well done for still being involved and scanning. I love that job as you get to see so many runners.

SUNDAY

72pts | 240 Mins Run

72 POINTS

240 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-8)

All about time on feet. Don’t push the pace early on and ensure you are well hydrated and have fuel to take on at regular intervals.

20miler done! (Actually 22miles – did Sarah’s final lap with her after id finished) so 4.5 hours total. Felt pretty strong through most of it and controlled the pace quite well I thought. Tough conditions, very windy and rainy, and also mental challenge dealing with so many laps! Great confidence boost though and we are both really pleased with today.

Love you guys right now. So proud of this one. If you get decent weather at Paris, it’s going to feel much easier than this, especially mentally, so this is huge. You’ve done so well to build to this position and right now primed for the challenge head. Fantastic work Andy!!
