The first of our Sunday marathon sessions. So exciting. In terms of the strength work, if there is ever a muscle group giving you issues that you would like to focus a bit more attention on then let me know and I can tweak the S&C session. I know from my own point of view I need to work harder on my glutes, so wanted to just make sure you were getting the most out of your strength sessions. Any problems with the schedule let me know. Keep up the great work Manami.
Oh I like variety of running sessions and this week was full of great sessions again. Hard Tuesday hills that I needed, easy run in the mid week and marathon pace intervals was so good for my body to learn the pace. I don’t think I’ve learned it perfectly yet 😃 thanks again Simon 😊
I forgot to mention that I’ve used weight for strength training as you recommended before. I couldn’t use any weights when I was away but I’ve been doing with light weights. I’ll put some more when I feel easier.
Another fantastic week. That’s 5 on the spin now you’ve hit your targets which is brilliant and a great way to recover from that fall. So pleased with how you are doing and just a case of more of the same really. Well done Manami. Onwards and upwards.

Big session this! But ideal if you have a hilly race coming up. Focus on good form and don’t go off too hard in rep 1, let the hill make it tough. Good luck! You got this. Run tall & proud.

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate. Don’t forget your strides. Very important. 30-60 seconds recovery between strides.
