A few of us are going to be in the park Monday evening doing some speed work if you wanted to pop over. I appreciate it’s a bit of a trick but if you have a free day would and fancy some company it’s a good option. I always like a quick parkrun at this stage of a marathon block to keep you sharp and the legs turning over. The pts have dropped as it’s week 1 of the taper (finally). Any problems let me know but hopefully the lighter schedule will help the glute niggle sort itself out.

Zone 2: Easy

A good chance to work on your 5k pace. If you can hit the quicker end of zone 6, then perfect. Don’t go too fast though, especially in the early reps.

Was very happy with this one! Planned to do this along the main Bexhill prom, but it was packed when I got there so headed to the lower prom. There was a small headwind on a couple of the reps – nothing major but took slight edge of the pace – averaged 3:54 across all reps, with the last rep at 3:51.
Yeah I saw the splits. It’s great you’ve been able to maintain that sub 19:30 5K pace whilst marathon training. A good sign for a strong summer of racing. Awesome work Jamie. Good to keep those fast twitch fibres awake as well for when they are called upon along the Embankment.

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Another enjoyable run – luckily with the evening starts the temperature had come down slightly! Strides done
Loving the positivity right now. How warm was that during the day? Bonkers. Great work Jamie

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.

To continue on the positive vibes – despite not being the ideal time I would like to see, I have to factor in that I haven’t been focused on speed work and the headwind was atrocious, so to still get 20mins was a good run! The joys of public transport reliability meant the warm up was a couple of strides short and the cool down was also cut short as I saw the bus appear down the road early!
Given the wind and WU, that’s still a strong time. Every reason to be pleased with that, so great work Jamie

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

A nice enjoyable 90 mins on a Sunday evening!
Just what we want at this stage of the plan.
