We’ve got some tasty sessions this week and the time has come to really push the pace. Monday we’re looking for 1:35s on the 5 mins, possibly even 1:30s on the 3s and 2s and then 1 big push at the end. 400s and 200s is probably my favourite session as I love setting myself little target times to beat. Any problems let me know. If you wanted an extra rest day then moving the 60 mins easy to Tuesday and doubling up with S&C would work.

A really tough session, so the key is to make sure the early reps are 10k pace and no quicker otherwise you will quickly run out of steam. Short recoveries here, so get that pace right.

Recoveries:
5 & 4 Mins (90 Seconds)
3, 2 & 1 Mins (60s)

10k and 5k paces were comfortable
Pleased to hear that. Good session in terms of volume and building speed endurance, I’m sure we’ll get plenty of opportunities to push the pace a little. When I home I even doubted you were there, despite our conversation pre session. It was because I can’t remember seeing you on the track at any point, how odd, but glad it all went well. Hopefully over the next few months I can get my speed back and we can be running reps together which would be awesome.

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

Excellent work Steve. Keep ticking these off.

Well done Steve, nice to be able to run with the group, in the daylight as well.

A really good session where you can work on your speed and form. Pace is the most important thing to work on here. The quicker end of your zone 7, 3k pace, perhaps even dipping under.

Legs have regained a bit more life now I’m pleased to say. Managed to push the pace
Some tasty splits in there. To get back up 20 that’s what we to be doing, training at faster pacers so 4:00 per km then feels easier. Strong running Steve
