Nice day off and much needed after running Saturday and Sunday and a busy week leading up to it ๐Ÿ˜Š
It’s good when you can really appreciate your rest days.

Classic session. Super simple. The end result being you have a better understanding of your current time for a 5K. Work hard and ideally finish each rep a few seconds quicker than your current 5k pace.

Iโ€™m pleased I came along regardless, I gave it all I could tonight, I know in myself I wasnโ€™t my usual self, struggled with pain and discomfort more than anything and couldnโ€™t ignore it, it showed in my pacing, although not terrible and actually had negative splits, pacing wasnโ€™t massively off but I just felt I couldnโ€™t push through the discomfort any more than I did. But I couldnโ€™t allow myself to quit and stop ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Better 5ks to come. Now for a little rest and a couple of days of stretching to see if it helps. Frustrated but wonโ€™t let it get to me to much.
It’s rare our training will ever go perfectly smoothly. As well as pushing that little bit harder each month, you’ve also got your work and family, so it’s a busy hectic schedule and at times it will take it’s toll. So understanding that and when to ease back a little, like you did here is very important, so well done for that, and great to have you along as always. I really hope the leg feels better. My methods of recovery including stretching, foam rolling and the massage gun. All seem to help.

So slightly more challenging and time consuming. To save time you can superset some exercises. What does that mean? Well rather than having 60 seconds recovery after your Kettlebell Swings, use that 60 seconds to do the Farmers Walk. And then go back to the Kettlebell Swings again. So you’d alternative 2 exercises and once, then have a short break before doing the same again. It saves as much as 15 mins that you’d otherwise just be standing around. Any issues let me know.

Started and finished with lots of stretching. Really good session this morning – I knew in my mind going to bed last night I was getting up, doing the school run and getting home in the gym ๐Ÿ˜Š and I did โœ… Felt good and hoping itโ€™s all helped with my hamstring, glute and lower back on right side but I wonโ€™t really know until I go for my 50 mins easy tomorrow morning.
Excellent work Michelle. There is one exercise I would like to add which does actually focus on the glutes and hamstring. I can either put it in their as an addition or replace another exercise. It depends how time consuming you find the current session. It’s a great all round workout though. Very impressive.

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

50 mins easy with the HRโ€™s Friday morning gang ๐Ÿ˜Š lovely social run keeping it easy with plenty of looping back to keep moving, finished off with a nice hot coffee in the park cafe๐Ÿ˜Š A good few hills too keep the efforts up. A real positive NO back pain today ๐ŸŽ‰ I could feel my hamstrings were a bit sore still so not ๐Ÿ’ฏ but much better than how it was as feeling Tuesay evening, maybe all the stretches with S&C yesterday helped a bit. 1 more run to go for the week, Sunday long run ๐Ÿ˜Š
Well done Michelle, really pleased the back and hamstrings are starting to feel better as well. Nice to be able to run with the Friday gang from time to time as well. Especially when it concludes with a hot drink at the end.

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Really was questing my life choices this morning, far too many glasses of wine last night ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚ and the horrible weather when I opened the front door ! But I got it done, a good route put on by Lindsay and a great group made it nice. A good 11.5 miles banked which completed the week ๐Ÿ˜Š
๐Ÿ˜‚ You’ve got the enjoy yourself sometimes (I’m referring to the wine rather than the running on this occasion). Getting out the door is often the hardest thing so huge respect for getting this done. I’m sure there will be a lot of Hastings Runners who took the easy option today. Excellent work Michelle.
