Week Commencing: 25 May 26

Choose Day๐Ÿ‘‡

  • Monday
  • Tuesday
  • Wednesday
  • Thursday
  • Friday
  • Saturday
  • Sunday

In an ideal world if you can bank some pts (maybe a run) on Monday and Tuesday whilst away that would mean we can ditch the Thursday efforts which might leave you a little tired ahead of Sunday. Although that said Anthony will probably reduce the intensity of the session with the 5 miler in mind. Speaking of Sunday, the one thing I want you to focus on is mindset. And when you factor in age grading you are one of the best Hastings Runners in that race, so tell yourself that. It’s not arrogance, unless you go round telling everyone ๐Ÿ˜‚, but positive mindset can make such a difference, and you should be confident given how good you are. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Jan.

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

A steady, comfortable run despite the heat. Nice to get back to it ๐Ÿ˜€
It was warm. Well done for standing up and giving your opinion at the meeting. Although if anyone says things they don’t agree with they just ignore it ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ For what it’s worth I think they have completely messed up the kit situation, wasted loads of our club funds and created a real problem for the future, one I’m not sure how can be solved now. Oh well. I will be wearing the old kit (the one you wore at Rye) for any future races I do.

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.

It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.

No distractions today as Judith is on holiday so managed 34 lengths (1700 metres) ๐Ÿ˜€ No coffee afterwards though ๐Ÿ˜ข Anthony’s Efforts – we used Grosvenor Gdns – ran twice round the whole park, twice round the second longest loop and twice round the smaller loop with 90 sec recovery in between each loop. It was one of those evenings where I thought I really didn’t want to do the session but so pleased I did. I would say that each loop was a few seconds quicker than showing on Strava as it took that time to pause my watch. Happy with my effort on such a hot, muggy evening.
Well done Jan. Pace was great on the efforts, very quick. The volume a little lower than I would like but I appreciate it might have been a decision based on conditions. So a decent days work with the swim as well.

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

Well that was hot run ๐Ÿฅต It did me good to go it alone because it feels like it’s going to be more of a challenge but ends up feeling ok so gives me a bit of a confidence boost. I kept a very steady, slow pace, finishing up Falaise and Bohemia. I was tempted to walk but only allowed myself to when crossing the road so chuffed with that too, given the conditions. Left Achilles a bit sore. Doing my S&C’s tomorrow instead of Friday so hoping they will help.
Fab work Jan. I had a bit of knee pain on my run, but then just reminded myself, I’m running for over 2 hours, something is going to hurt. So unless the pain gets progressively worse I wouldn’t panic, but equally it’s good to keep an eye on it. Nice to see you out there as well.

*Signifies you need to do each side (so twice the number of reps)

This should be a good all round workout which will hopefully help with you keep those niggles at bay. The idea being we can slowly add to these. Those doing the best with their strength are the ones who keep it simple and consistent, week in week out.

If time is ever an issue. You can do some supersets. What is a superset? It means combined 2 exercises together, ideally ones that are different.

For example you might do 1 set of Bent Knee Calf Raises, and rather than just twiddle your thumbs for 60 seconds before doing the next set, you do a wall sit inbetween.

S&C’s completed today instead of Friday. First in a while and it actually felt quite good to be back on it. All good and has really loosened the legs up ๐Ÿ˜Š
Awesome work Jan. Finishing off a strong week, in particular the weekend, so really well done.
