I’m a little concerned we’ve not go enough rest in after Canterbury, but the fact Monday is Pilates suggests we might be ok. Just see how you feel and take more rest if need be. Thursdays session is Anthony efforts. Obviously I don’t know what that will be but have put a session that is likely to be a similar training pts target. Then we get the long run in the weekend. So whilst the plan looks crazy I think this is a decent level for you and hopefully you find it manageable. If it does become too much, just say and we can reign it in a little, especially this week after the race.

Always a good session to work on flexibility and strength.

Pilates this morning instead of in the evening. She knew I’d ran to geared the session to lots of stretching which was fantastic.
Perfect. That’s the benefit of working with someone knowledgeable who can adapt the training (I’m talking about your Pilates instructor, not myself πŸ˜‚) Well done Jan

*Signifies you need to do each side (so twice the number of reps)

This should be a good all round workout which will hopefully help with you keep those niggles at bay. The idea being we can slowly add to these. Those doing the best with their strength are the ones who keep it simple and consistent, week in week out.

If time is ever an issue. You can do some supersets. What is a superset? It means combined 2 exercises together, ideally ones that are different.

For example you might do 1 set of Bent Knee Calf Raises, and rather than just twiddle your thumbs for 60 seconds before doing the next set, you do a wall sit inbetween.

Done – all good 😊
Well done Jan

A good speed session and a chance to increase pace as the reps get shorter. Work hard and enjoy!

Morning swim πŸ‘ Efforts – Ran for 1.5 mins at 5 k pace, on each return the time we were given to run back was reduced by 3 seconds. We did this 6 times with a minute rest in between. I did put my best effort in and surprised myself I was able to do it after Sunday and last night’s run. Feeling tired beforehand and reluctant to venture out in the wind and the cold – hence 40% training readiness!
Sounds like a fun session. If the WU & CD were roughly 10 mins we would have hit the 20pts, 21 in fact. Plus the swimming a good days work. Well done Jan

Swapped rest days and did my S&C’s Saturday morning. Thought it best as I’d done 5 consecutive days of training (including the Canterbury) Felt good πŸ‘
Good idea to switch it up and take the extra rest. Well done Jan. you could always combine an S&C to free up an extra rest day if that helps

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Felt a bit more of a slog than previous Sunday runs with muscles tightening up as well. That said, I did it and πŸ˜…
Well done Jan, some runs for no obvious reason can feel tough. It’s not a sign of regression, it’s just how it is sometimes. But as you say, you got it done and the consistency will make all the difference in the long run.
