Here we go. The big one. Marathon plan, what we’ve been building towards. I think its important we always keep an eye on the Tuesday sessions so the training load is right. Any week the longer WU or CD isn’t possible we can add some extra minutes on late in the week. These first few weeks off this plan require a bit of patience and then the big Sunday runs start to come into play, that’s when it really gets interesting. Any problems this week let me know.

As per plan very windy but couldn’t wait to get out. The 5 days off last week was horrid, not sure I feel better for it. S&C also
I think it’s that will to get out that makes the rest worthwhile. What I’ve found when I haven’t taken a rest week is I’ll reach say week 8 in the plan and just feel mentally and physically drained and then go on Strava and try and find when I last had a week off. Then end up taking one anyway. So it’ worth it in the long run. Glad this went well given the conditions on the South Coast. Well done Adam.

Monster club hill session. 3×3 1:40 up/down Kenyan hill repeats- 1138ft elevation. + There and back, 13.44mi.
That’s some session and some decent elevation. Not many on the team running half marathons on Tuesday. Very impressive. Great work Adam.

Switched this to Thursday- 3:31 pre club run average pace 7:25. Club run 2x 12mins 2 mins above threshold 2 mins below- 4.16mi average pace 6:30. 2.19mi CD home. Friday 4mi recovery.
That sounds like a decent 10k session and always nice to do it with the club. I think we might be a little short this week as both easy runs have been short. Will drop you a DM.

Apologies a little longer than planned- 2:28 ,18.71 miles easy pace with some elevation.
No need to apologies at all. As long as you feel good that’s the main thing. I was made up to see you did 30+ km and it’s great to see you running with mates too. If need be, if you do ever do extra and it has an adverse effect, like you wake up aching on a Monday, we’ve got those extra points in the bank so we can drop something the following week. If you wake up feeling strong again though, it shows that there is that potential to keep pushing the targets, which is exciting. Great way to finish a really excellent week
