2 key sessions again this week. Some nice shorter reps in there on Tuesday, combined with the horrible 1 mile, but that will help you progress too. Then of course more big miles at the weekend. You’ve proven you can do it now and this is one of just two long runs left before Paris, so super important, if you feel you can go a bit longer, do up to 30 mins more. Keep up the great work Sarah.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

Squats tonight, weight was kept light at 25kg to practice squat depth. Also did some split squats and lunges with dumbbells
Very nice. The one thing I would say with squats is that as runners we don’t necessarily need to go too deep as we don’t have a great deal of knee flexion when we run. So if you have an instructor that ever says, squat deeper, tell them you’re a runner and they might let you off. But well done Sarah. Lots of good leg work in here.

A good 10k session. See if you can run that 2nd mile quicker than the first. Push the pace on the 60s to get more from this session.

Run club interval session tonight. The path was marked out at 200m, 300m and 400m. We had the option of choosing our interval length as the aim was to run out to the marker at 5k effort and recover back. We were aiming to do at least 8 intervals in the time we had. So I opted to alternate between 300m and 200m. I finished my 8 intervals and still had a a couple of minutes to spare so I did an extra 200m one. (4 x 300m out and recover and 5 x 200m out and recover overall)
Always good to join in with the club. Probably not as a demanding a session as the one scheduled, so a few less points, but that’s ok. I’d always much rather you run in a group if possible as I know the additional benefits that come from that. Well done Sarah, and thanks for using those 2 mins spare to smash out another rep. I love that mindset.

63pts | 210 Mins Run

210 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-7)

This is a long time to be out running, so ensuring you have enough water and fuel is vital. Plot your route carefully.

Long run done, 3hrs 53. Ran to parkrun, about 5 miles. Then ran parkrun as parkrun then ran it a second time then ran home. Found this run really hard for some reason, it was quite a bit slower than the 4 hours I did a couple of weeks ago. But I know it is generally easier at an event/race. Still a good 16 miles covered though.
Superb. Another fantastic long run. Really well done Sarah. Loving the extra mins as well. I wouldn’t worry too much about this feeling tougher, it just happens sometimes, getting it done is the most important thing, not the pace. So great work.

12pts | 40 Mins Run

12 POINTS

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Missed run club on Thursday so did 40 mins today as a very slow run out. Also an opportunity to test my new shoes as they’ve been sat in the box for a month because of all the rain haha
Love this. Another brilliant week. Really pleased with the commitment you and Andy have shown over the past month. You should be really proud of each other and hopefully spur each other on. Hope the new shoes were lush? Great week Sarah
