Week Commencing: 6 July 26

Choose Day👇

Sunday I’ve got Lake Dorney in the plan? I assume that is still happening. Again treating it as a long run is the best approach, which kind of means we have 2 runs of 60 mins or more this week. A challenge but it highlights progress already. If racing Sunday, leaving parkrun Saturday is sensible, and getting out Friday would be a smarter approach. But any problems let me know. 70pts on the table which would be the best week yet. Keep up the great work Abbi.

Found this a bit of a struggle after the 5km point, so slowed right down. Not sure if it was the heat or a lot of running in the past few days, but good to tick off another session!
I think the schedule has ended up meaning 3 runs in 4 days, which is probably why you felt tired towards the end. But the fact you were able to do that is great. And knowing that walking is a good option in those moments take away that pressure or sense of failure. But another good session banked and a great start to the new week. Well done Abbi.

A treadmill run, Despite considering a 6am run, I didn’t in the end and the heat was too much after work. Always harder to gauge my pace on a treadmill (and it’s boring) but another session done. HR higher than it should have been, so may have been going a bit fast at times. But felt ok.
Great work Abbi, I think at the moment if you jump on the treadmill as an alternative (which it’s a good one) don’t fret too much about pace, so long as you’re not working really hard, as if you were doing a fast parkrun, then you should be ok.

That felt a lot tougher than I wanted it to be. Got about a 30 second PB, but think I set myself up to do better than that as last week was a hilly 10k vs this flat one. It was incredibly hot (about 25 degrees at 9:30!) struggled with some hip and knee pain at the 7km mark which felt like slowed me down a bit. I know I need to take it as a win as it’s the second time I’ve ever ran this distance.
Congrats on your PB Abbi. The heat plays a massive part in running and would probably account for anywhere between 1-2 minutes in a 10k. Sorry to hear the hip and knee hurt, we just need to keep a little eye on that and if it persists we can tweak the schedule to include a bit more rest. Another excellent result though and a great week of training. Really well done. 5 weeks on the spin which means your first training star 🌟 I feel a bit like a school teacher handing out stickers to year 1, but it seems to keep the team motivated 😂
