Quite a hectic schedule towards the end of the week so keep an eye out for any niggles, and keep the effort low on those easy runs. Any issues let me know. Congrats on a fantastic year though Kirsty. Thank you for your continued support. I really feel 2026 could be your best year of running yet. Happy New Year.

Had to take mum to hospital so S&C wasn’t possible
No worries. If you can slot them in somewhere else that would be great. I really hope your mum is ok?

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate. Don’t forget your strides. Very important. 30-60 seconds recovery between strides.

I think, im not sure, but I think this was my PB 5mile? I can’t seem to find 5mile best time on Strava or garmin 🫀 happy with that today! Completed S&C post run! So back on track this week!
I know, was so impressed with those splits for an easy run. Again further signs the fitness is improving. Wasn’t that long ago that was your 10k effort pace. Excellent work Kirsty and well done for fitting in the S&C too.

TWRs in the park. One word. LUSH!
That must have been great to do TWR earlier in the day. I miss the park since I’ve not been running. We are very lucky.

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Ran with Emma. She was delicate 🫣 I felt so flipping strong! The pace felt very cruise like so I feel I have a PB in me….no pressure but I do feel it! I promised Emma we’d run together today so didn’t go all in
I’m so glad you said this, because I saw the pace and thought “oh no, Kirsty going to be so upset at that time” But now it makes sense, and it’s such a nice feeling when you feel that strong. We probably do fall a few points short as the effort was lower, so if you can add a bit on later in the week that would be great (not essential though).

Likely your heart rate will climb as you run up the hills, so don’t worry too much about drifting into Zone 3 for the hills, try and keep the rest in Zone 2.

Seeking out the hills! I think there was a good mix of up to go with the down!
Nearly 200 metres of elevation. That’s quality. Well done Kirsty. Good idea to let it thaw out a touch.

A good opportunity to practice some half marathon pace on your long run. This is a tough session so you’ll be working hard, embrace that. You got this πŸ’ͺ

So just to clarify you start the session with a nice easy 20 minute jog. Don’t worry about the pace here, even if you are slower than your “easy pace” target, this is all about warming up the muscles. Then settle into your half marathon pace for 20 mins.

Once you’ve completed that, you repeat that process two more times, for a total of 2 hours of running, of which half will be at your target half marathon pace. Each 20 minute half marathon section will feel tougher than the previous and you’ll be working very hard in that last block.

You got this!!!

That was icy! Almost went over twice 😫 I think i was cautious and that showed in my pace at places. Still got it done. Tough session, I was naive and thought it was an easier session. 🫣🫀 also my hands hurt like hell so that did not help at all.
Oh no, what have you done to your hand? Hope it’s ok today. Yeah these sessions can be tougher than you think and no worries on the pace. Sensible to keep a little slower right now not to go arse over tit. Well done Kirsty.
