The key run this week is the long run which is the longest you’ll do before Bewl and the Pier to Pier. Keep the pace easy, a flat route will help. I’ve brought it forward to Saturday as we have the handicap in the schedule for the following Tuesday so we want some freshness for that. The rest of the week is similar, Wednesday with the club, and Thursday with Anthony. Hills might make your niggles worse, so if still struggling with the achilles, don’t be afraid to play safe and opt for a flatter route for either of those sessions. You certainly don’t want to be doing Gresham Road reps with a sore achilles. Any problems shout but keep up the great work Jan.

Always a good session to work on flexibility and strength.

Driving up north – another 8.5 hr journey which should have been 6 maximum wit a break ๐Ÿ˜ซ
Just reading and thinking about that makes me feel exhausted so I can’t imagine how you feel with all that traveling. Do what you can this week.

NOTE: You can click on any of the exercises to view a tutorial.

*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.

Sorry to hear that Jan. Hope Bill is ok? Working with just 50 odd runners I kind of get this sense of how challenging life can be at times. The things the team have to go through is really hard. And I suppose the only thing I can say is, whilst sometimes it can feel personal, it’s happening to so many. I guess all we can do is be grateful for every moment we have and make the most of that ๐Ÿงก

Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.

Had a lovely run along the Leeds canal with Sara and Bill. Wasn’t sure if I was going to manage one at all this week so very pleased. Breathing is not brilliant at the moment but not sure why. Calf a little tight and went over in my ankle which jarred it a bit but after a couple of minutes walking, it eased off.
Well done Jan, glad you were able to get out for a run, and nice to do it with family. Hopefully you’ll find the breathing and niggles will just sort themselves out as things settle down a bit more.

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 worries Jan

Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

I couldn’t face running alone yesterday after the week I’d had. A good decision even if it knackers me for Tuesday! It was a surprisingly relatively comfortable run despite the heat and it wasn’t until I stopped that I felt tired. I could barely get myself up the steps and hill when heading home and was relieved to have finished the run in the park๐Ÿ˜… Iced my Achilles, ankle and calf as soon as I got home as they were niggling during the run. Really pleased with how I felt on this run – slow, steady and reasonably strong. I ran the whole distance apart from at traffic lights and when we stopped for a photo so chuffed with that too ๐Ÿ˜€
This is brilliant. Things can change so quickly. From worrying about the Pier to Pier, to then smashing out 140 mins and feeling good. All it takes sometimes is one run to lift the spirts and really pleased this went well, especially in the warm conditions. Great work Jan.
