At first glance you might think ๐Ÿคฏ but individually the sessions are not that challenging, so it should be manageable. I’ve got you down for the Spring 5K? 200s again you ask? Monday myself and a few others are likely to be doing a bank holiday session and because it’s the race Wednesday we want a slightly different stimulus, hence the 200 metre reps. If you want to do something close to home we can change that for anything really, even an easy run if you want to save the legs for Wednesday. Let me know.

Pace is the best thing to focus on here. You should be at the lower end or even under your 3k target here. A great chance to get some speed in the legs.

Excellent session. Thanks for arranging. Didn’t go mad as I want to give the 5k on Wednesday a decent crack.
You’re welcome. I thought it was just nice to get a group together rather than us doing it solo. A strong session but sensible to be smart with Wednesday in mind. Well done Steve. Hopefully in a month or so I’ll be able to do some reps with you. My last 3 were 43-41-37 as the leg held up really well.

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.

Keep em coming. Individually they don’t make huge differences, but when done week in week out over a sustained period of time the impact is huge. Well done Steve.

I’m a big fan of consistent splits. With any race avoiding getting swept away with the crowds is key, so focus on that early pace and hold back, settle into a rhythm. Km 4 is often the hardest, so zone in on 4 and dig deep. You got this!

Heavy legs but not unhappy with 20.40. It normally takes me until about June or July to dip back under 20 mins.
Yeah feels like that race is just a chance to lay down a market, very early in the season and you’ll be beating that soon.

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.

Slight knee issue so decided to give it a couple of days
Sensible. Perhaps the S&C? We have increased it. I do like twice a week though, but just keep monitoring it to see what happens. It’s been a big week with the 200s and 5k race. I’m feeling a little fragile myself it has to be said.
