No track this week, 20 x 1 was the intended session in the plan. If you wanted to join my group Tuesday we have a good ramp up (4-3-2-1) session planned, again further speed focused. That combined with the 10k tempo session later in the week, the easy runs and the S&C and you’ve got all the ingredients of a perfect week of training. Try and dial in those target paces if you can and this is a week you’ll make some decent games. Keep working hard Steve.

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

For Saturday’s session i felt completely out of sorts for some reason. Even struggled with the warm up. So was pleased with this interval session. Managed to hold the 3k-5k pace for each of the 20 x 1 mins. On Friday I am planning to run the Rye 10k (with Stanley junior) Won’t be full on race mode but will treat it as a tough tempo run.
Great work Steve, Love the splits for this one, all in the 3:ss which is brilliant. An excellent start to the week. I’ve switched the schedule slightly and put Friday in as a HM tempo and means you don’t have to do as much for your long run Saturday which is a bonus. Excellent start to the week. Keep it up.

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

Well done Steve

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.

Excellent work Steve, keep earning those pts.

Zone 2: Easy

If you are training for a specific time in a half marathon, getting some miles in at goal pace is key. If it’s early in your plan don’t worry too much if you’re little off pace at this stage. With the upcoming training that should improve over the weeks. In that scenario don’t give up, hold a consistent pace and RPE throughout.

Tried to resist the temptation to really go for it – which was helped by the head wind on the way back. Kept it to just slightly quicker than HM pace overall
Well done Steve. That’s ideal and will certainly have boosted your fitness. I heard the wind was a bit of a bugger, normally is down there to be fair. I once entered a race on the Wednesday when it said 2mph wind, got down there and was at least 20mph, I was not happy πŸ˜‚

No worries Steve. Not a problem with that, well done for getting them both done.

100 mins easy, split into 2 runs (I know that’s not quite the idea – but it was a complicated day with a house full of people πŸ˜€)
No worries. I appreciate sometimes life can get in the way, but well done on finding a way to get it done.
