A recovery week, but we keep that quality. Track I’ve been told is going to be a ramp up session which I really like so a chance to practice 5k pace and quicker. Then it should be pacers day at parkrun too if you wanted to give that a crack on Saturday. If not let me know and we can always swap that out for 100 mins easy run, depending how the legs feel. Any issues let me know, but keep up the good work Steve.

Always a favourite with the team! Keep that first rep at 5k pace and then start to ramp up that speed. Enjoy!

Pace was comfortable. Starting to feel as if I’m getting a bit if speed in my legs now. Looking forward to giving the Hastings 5m a decent go.
Really impressed with how you ran there as I felt like I was pushing hard and you had that extra gear to me. Pretty much all under 20 min 5k pace I imagine? So excellent work Steve.

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.

Zone 2: Easy

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

50 mins VE ( don’t believe Strava, I forgot to turn on my watch) Planning to go eyeballs out for sub 20 parkrun on Saturday
Don’t go eye balls out in the first km though 😉 Well done on the 50 mins today and good to keep it easy to save that energy for Saturday.

Zone 2: Easy

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.

Stayed with the 20 min pacer reasonably comfortably until around 3k and then flagged quite badly. Also had a bit of back cramp which I had to stop for to stretch off. So the 19.59 it says on Strava is not the perfectly paced sub 20 that it looks. Happy with my speed and cadence at the moment but feel as if I’m lacking a bit of endurance.
For me getting the pace is the hardest thing. Which I feel like we’ve achieved. The plan naturally adds more mileage and if we do some of the threshold sessions at track on Monday’s that are now being set that combination should make all the difference. It feels like it’s coming, sometimes we just need to be patient, but I happy with the progress and just need to keep plugging away and trust the process.
