Biggest week of the plan so far with 130pts on the table. That is a really good level to be working too. If it feels too demanding let me know, but you can certainly achieve a lot off this level of training. I’ve put a parkrun in there if you fancied giving this a go to test the fitness. Putting ourselves out of our comfort zone from time to time is a good thing. But we could swap if for a Friday session if you prefer. Keep up the great work Lou.

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. The elliptical can tone muscles and improve endurance whilst being gentle on your joints. You might find you have to work quite hard to get your heart rate in Zone 2.

All good 😊

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.

A really good way to get your S&C in. A full body workout with barbells will really aid your running and reduce the risk of injury.

Run felt better than it has the last couple of weeks, at last a good run 😊. Enjoyed body pump, lifting heavier upper body weights, so improving.
Fantastic. Really pleased to hear that and it’s really nice when you can start to see the progress with the strength work as well. Excellent work Lou. A really positive day.

Enjoyed both sessions. Someone told me I’m a good swimmer so that was nice 😊!!
So pleased to hear. And you know what is important to really bank those kind comments, even write them down in a book somewhere, so if you’re feeling down or confidence is low, go to the notes for a pick me up. Well done Lou.

Try and hit those target paces if you can. Don’t go off to quick otherwise you’ll burnout. Pick up the pace as the reps get shorter. Great session this. Go smash it.

Not my best. Couldn’t hold the pace for the 800m, almost managed it on the 400m. Smashed the 200m though. I don’t seem to have speed endurance. I also found the first rep tough, it seems to take a while for the fast twitch muscles to wake up!! Maybe some strides beforehand would help?
I think when you consider how we’ve not done a great deal of speed work, because of the injury concern then it’s not a huge surprise, but it will come. So don’t worry too much. We’ll get there. And that’s a good point you make about warming up. Some strides before the session, if you have the time is a very good idea. I always do them before a race for that reason. Lots of positives to take from this though and trust the process, as we introduce more of these sessions you’ll find it more comfortable. Well done for getting it done Lou!

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

Wouldn’t normally do the long run the day after a speed session but lots going on this weekend. A good run, enjoyed it 😊.
It’s a good sign you were able to. Yeah ideally we’d avoid it if we can, but appreciate that’s not always possible. Excellent work though Lou and glad you enjoyed it as well. Have a great weekend.
