• January 12th - 18th

We keep nudging up those long runs. No hiding place from those unfortunately but a good week, with some nice variety and plenty of rest too. Any problems let me know, but keep up the great work Sarah.

Good week and got it all ticked off.
Think I’m coming out of my run worry. Maybe felt wobbly capital the Brighton email and chat around. Mixing with lots of runners on Sunday and knowing I could do it has boasted my confidence.

Another strong week Sarah. It’s normally to have some nerves. Hopefully the fact there will be quite a few Team Orange and Hastings Runners doing Brighton that day will help. We are all striving towards that same goal. Some of us further down the line that others (I’m only to 60 mins at the moment 🤦‍♂️) so you’re in a strong position right now. Keep up the great work.

A really good session to practice 5k pace but then also get some speed into the legs. The real challenge will be holding 5k pace in the last 2 reps and that’s when we replicate what it feels like to have to dig deep late in a 5k race.

Hard session but kept pace mainly until the last 3 mins of block. Good focus on form and funny how it collapses when getting tired.
Form looks good. I think at the moment there’s an element of trying too hard to run with good form and that might mean you’re not as relaxed as you want to be. But that will come as well. It should be efficient and free flowing. As you said, it’s when you get tired that it can suffer, but you did really well in what is a very tough session

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Let house feeling normal then when Started running every foot step was horrid. I’d had enough. Then thinking how can I do this. Wet bland night out and just January feeling. ☹️
Sorry to hear you had such a bad run. It does happen from time to time and for no apparent reason. All I would say is always give yourself 10-20 mins to WU. Sometimes it takes me even longer. So I can feel awful for the first 20-30 mins, but then towards the end it all changes and I can amazing again. So never pass judgement on a run or how you feel until at least 10 minutes in. Well done for getting the job complete though Sarah.

Sometimes it can be good to reduce the impact and get the heart rate up with some cross training. Plus spin classes can be great fun.

Went out on a 10k with a run brand I was anxious so went with what I felt like the correct pacer. It was amazing buzz so a little short on planned time you gave me but I didn’t stop walking all day. Good experience.
Sounds fun. Love the look of the little passports. The fact your pace was quicker than an easy run means you get the points we wanted, and a few bonus ones too. Well done Sarah
