Less miles this week because of the P2P upcoming, but two quality sessions. Speaking of quality sessions the Tuesday evening hills run I am doing for the group is a a good one and would give you extra time ahead of parkrun if you are free? parkrun will be pacers day so a chance to sit behind a blue vest and run a strong and relaxed race without worrying about what the watch says. Any issues though let me know. Keep smashing it Jan.

Always a good session to work on flexibility and strength.

Good session with a focus on form so balancing bricks on parts of our bodies while doing the exercises, the aim being if they don’t fall off then form is good e.g planks with one brick placed on lower back whilst stepping on and off another brick. Another example lying on side with brick placed across top foot while lifting legs from the hip to hip height (top leg first then lifting bottom leg to meet top leg before placing them back down. Really good for concentration as well as form.
Love this idea. Might have to give this a go. Easy to get lazy on certain exercises. Great way to start the week, well done Jan.

Zone 2: Easy

Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.

Focus on effort level rather than pace or heart rate as both will fluctuate depending if you are going up or down the hill

Thoroughly enjoyable Hill training session instead of S&C’s Kept a steady, easy pace and felt strong and good throughout. My legs didn’t tire at all and felt as comfortable at the end as I did at the start. Got to lamppost 10 and finished before the 40 mins. Completed at least 3 more up to lamppost 1. Could have done more ๐Ÿ˜€ Does this mean I didn’t work hard enough? I’m also much more confident about running in hot weather which has been a bit of a worry for me in the past. Heart rate high but no more than any other run.
I think that’s a fare question to ask, but I think in that heat and the nature of the session, isn’t about pushing our limits, but staying consistent throughout and it’s one I intend to repeat, so we have that little marker now of how far you got in the 40 mins. So if you do want to challenge yourself, you can see if you can go a little further. But the hills will have made it tough still and the HR is still pretty high. So hopefully a big confidence boost from this one. Awesome running Jan, very impressed as always.

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

A run with Sara and Bill. We got the bus to Fairlight and ran back (I have a senior bus pass now so that was exciting) ๐Ÿ˜€ A mix of slow running, walking and drinks stops. Legs felt good and strong but we all struggled with the heat ๐Ÿฅต Lovely family run โ˜บ๏ธ
It sounds great, good use of the bus pass. My mum and dad use it all the time and actually not a bad idea for point to point runs. Definitely enough pts banked to match the normal Wednesday run, and walking on the hills is something I tend to encourage on these easy runs now, especially after Tuesday night. Well done Jane

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

๐ŸŠDone Had a very full day/evening after that so S&C’s rescheduled for Friday
Well done Jan and no worries for moving the S&C!!

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.

Rescheduled from Thursday and completed from 7.15 am this morning before football. All good ๐Ÿ˜€
Great work Jan. Up and at em nice and early. Living your best life.

Zone 2: Easy

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

Such an enjoyable fairly effortless run taking in Wimbledon Common and a lap of Richmond Park. I forgot to recharge my watch which ran out of charge part way round the run so the seats are from my sister’s watch. 16.73km 6.75 pace 1hr.56m Couldn’t stick to a 90 minute run as with Ally and another Wimbledon Windmiler. Don’t think it’ll make much difference if any for next Sunday.
Fantastic effort Jan. Sounds like a lot of fun. And nice to run in a different location. Ended up being a very strong week.
