Saturday would be the best option for the long run, if possible. Because it then gives you that day rest before the next track session. Any problems please let me know. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas Sarah 🎄
*Recoveries: 120 Seconds for the 5 Mins Reps. 90 Seconds for the 2 Min Reps.
A good session to start off with your 5k pace and then pick up the speed as we move into the shorter reps. See if you can finish with your fastest lap in that final rep!!
Enjoyed this a lot.. felt consistent also had that rest day Sunday.
Another strong session Sarah and really pleased to hear you enjoyed it. A really positive vibe around track right now. Definitely helped by the conditions but everyone is working so hard and with a smile on their face. Coach Simon 🍊
If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
Did 1 hour on treadmill as was fitting it into with family time etc. no strides but I did keep a strong pace till the end. Gonna start strides on the next group we’d run I promise…. Spoke with Lou so I’ll join her
Well done Sarah. Yeah Lou is a good one to do strides with. It’s just getting into the habit and appreciating that they are not sprints but controlled efforts focusing on good form and that way they are a bit more enjoyable than if you were “eye balls out” for 100 metres. Great job on fitting this in though. Coach Simon 🍊
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Sorry I know it’s rest day but the best gift I was that my hubby wanted to do parkrun. He loved it. I always say yes when a family member wants to move.
That’s fantastic and yes definitely get involved in this scenario. I think we were a few points down so this works out well. Coach Simon 🍊
All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.
Did this on my own today
Constant hills & wind in my face.
Not great but focused through it.
Did a hour yoga before which was good to wake the body up
Fantastic work Sarah. So much of marathon training is mental and just that ability to keep going. So a run like this, whilst tough at the time will build that mental resilience. No doubt more enjoyable runs ahead. Coach Simon 🍊
