Feels a bit repetitive so if you want to mix it up, switch the days, just let me know. But consistency brings the best results. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work 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.
Had a tiring day so motivation lower than usual prior to S&C’s but they’re done and all good 😊
Great work Jan. Getting started is often the hardest thing, but once it’s complete we normally always feel better. Coach Simon 🍊

Swim 👍 As agreed S&C’s (comfortably) completed today instead of tomorrow
Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Park Run – still feel I have a way to go in terms of building up my pace but it felt comfortable all the way. Even the jog home up Maze Hill didn’t feel a struggle. Feeling quite strong.
Excellent work Jan. Try not to worry too much about results at this stage of the training. If you keep it consistent they will take care of themselves. So pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it and felt strong. You definitely picked a good day to do the parkrun. It was beautiful out there. Coach Simon 🍊
Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
The plan had been to join Lindsey’s group at the Park Run start but it ended up being a solo run. Despite the wind and later the rain, I had an exhilarating run . Loved it, legs still feeling strong so very happy.
So pleased to hear that Jan. I think if you get the training pts right, then you will have a lot of runs like where you feel strong, as you’re working at the right level, being consistent and making progress. It’s a great feeling, especially to feel that good in such poor weather Coach Simon 🍊
