Another strong week. An excellent speed session. Easy parkrun with a bit extra Saturday perhaps? And then the long run Sunday. These are the tough runs at the moment but you’re building both endurance and strength in the legs. Also a good opportunity to practice your fuelling. Any questions about that just ask. Also any problems let me know. Keep up the good work Maria.

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.

My usual Thursday struggles but always feel better for doing it!!
They never get easier these sessions, you just get faster. But as you said, it feels good at the end. It’s a great metaphor for life as we all have other challenges thrown our way where we might want to quit, but if we can keep going with our running when things get tough, we can do that in all walks of life. So great effort Maria. Excellent pace too looking at your splits on Strava ๐Ÿ’ช

Zone 2: Easy

Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.

I did it! I’m so happy with myself!
This was amazing. You should be so proud of yourself. To do that solo as well is really difficult. This is why running is great, because we can doubt ourselves at first, but then prove that we can do these, we can achieve amazing things. And forget stats or race times, that feeling is huge for self esteem and confidence. That to me is far more important than PBs. Well done Maria.
