I imagine this was a weekend off? But we can cram some decent training into the week beforehand. Track Monday is a good alternative for the session if you wanted to join in with the club. Another double session too, hopefully have time to squeeze that in? Any problems let me know and of course if we need to change things up that is fine. Keep up the great work Sally.

Zone 2: Easy

A nice progression speed session. Start of at 5k pace for the first 2 reps then look to crank it up and finish off really strongly. Go smash it! You got this.

Had to do this today Tuesday, as yesterday had a full day off with hubby so we had the day together in London, so lots of walking yesterday ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ That was a tough session, although had played 90 mins of padel in the morning although not full on at it. Was a one foot in front of the other session today. Took me that first effort to get going, but was better once that was out the way. Session ticked off and job done ๐Ÿ˜€
I feel tired just reading about all your exploits. Respect for still getting it done, don’t be afraid to make a decision to sometimes tweak it yourself if you’ve done extra sport. I’ve yet to enjoy the delights of padel but I suppose it depends who you are playing with as to how demanding it can be. But really well done Sally. My comments are just based on ensuring you don’t overdo it, sometimes it doesn’t take much. And hope you had a lovely day in London as well.

45 Mins Swimming @ Easy Pace

RPE: 3

It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.

Did my swim over the weekend. I had two 30 minute warm ups. In total I swam for 50 mins. I didnโ€™t record these by a watch due to not taking a watch with me as racing ๐Ÿ˜€ But warm ups done equating to the 50 mins nice and chilled with a few little efforts to raise the HR ready ๐Ÿ˜€
I think I understand what you mean. If I get it wrong let me know.

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Zone 1: Recovery

You’ll likely need to push the pace a little just to get the heart rate into Zone 1, so don’t be fooled into thinking this will be an easy bike ride.

Blimey that head wind today was rather brutal and I felt like I was going backwards a fair amount of the time ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Nice to actually get on the road on the bike ๐Ÿ˜€ Definitely got the leg burn before heading straight out for run. Again horrid headwind, but felt good and in control ๐Ÿ˜€ Enjoyed the session and ended up with my loop for run being 50 minutes
Nice, it’s good to train in tough conditions because ultimately we can’t control what it’s like on race day. Last year the Hastings Runners Pier to Pier race was wet (heavy drizzle) and windy (10 mph headwind). Everyone was moaning afterwards. “Horrid conditions”….”worst I’ve ever run in”. My response was “that was alright”….because I had trained and raced in much worse in the months leading up to it. So whenever conditions are tricky see that as a benefit. Well done on the extra mins.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Loved the run, but for some reason today just couldnโ€™t get the breathing regulated at all. HR sat higher than wanted, so just ran to how the legs and body felt which was strong ๐Ÿ˜€ Nice stretch after ๐Ÿ˜€
Yeah I wouldn’t obsess over HR as that can take away the enjoyment if you force yourself to slow down. So long as it feels comfortable it’s fine. But really glad you enjoyed it too and nice to see the sun shining for a change. Well done Sally

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.

Racing went as well as could be expected due to my training not being geared for this. Was enjoyable to race and I actually ended up swimming an extra 4×50 metre races due to relay races. So an extra 2 mins of racing roughly in total. The races were tough with a lot of exertion ๐Ÿ˜€
Glad you enjoyed it and nice to be able to take advantage of your talents. Did you come away with any medals or anything?
