Let’s see how Sunday went. But I’ve plugged in these sessions. How is the hamstring? Again I’ve been wary about the speed work but have put in a bit of 5k work there on the Tuesday session. Might be a good chance to test it but pull back if it starts to tighten ๐Ÿค” Same applies to the strides, just be smart with them and ditch them if you have any discomfort.

S&C as per plan. Opted for a 30 min walk + sauna and cold plunge. Benefits to the sauna max HR 127
That’s a pretty high HR for just sitting in a room. Nice. And no worries. You have some many training pts in the bank, there are plenty more opportunities to hit the sauna ๐Ÿ˜‚

A good session to practice some HM pace, but also appreciate the variation between the speeds at different distances. Work hard, run tall, smile. You got this.

As per planโ€ฆ maybe a little further than planned 12mi. Worked super hard, splits all over as running one way into 45mph winds
Conditions were disgusting last night so respect for getting out there and putting in a decent shift. Well done Adam.

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

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.

Super easy controlled run, wrapped up warm, gloves and trousers actually enjoyed that pace today. Did have to work a bit up a big hill ๐Ÿ˜‚. No strides but will pick them up tomorrow!
I’ve started enjoying my easy runs more since slowing down and focusing on HR. Glad you enjoyed this one, even if it was a tad nippy out.

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.

5mi, 40 mins also yesterdays 8x 100m strides.
Nice, good to scale it back a little.

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.

Not to be picky but can I have my additional points for the strides on Friday, the ones i missed on Thursday ๐Ÿซฃ just so we keep everything in check. Happy with Sundays race maybe could have ran 15/20 seconds faster without the slight head wind on the return leg. Was solo after about 6mi, all said a 10k, 10mi, & half PB! Thank you for the support that was a surprise, got round the corner and thoughtโ€ฆ.. I know that guy ๐Ÿ˜‚
I’m buzzing. So pleased you managed to bag that PB. You’ve worked bloody hard and had to be really patient, not to mention the niggles as well in recent weeks. I always try my best to support runners where I can and often do it as a surprise as I feel that can have more of a positive effect. Works a treat deep into an ultra at the top of the South Downs Way when you surprise the runner and they get emotional. I love what I do and glad I can express that by showing my support when I can. This was one of my favourite moments (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIW7qkHNPI3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) Any how, enough self promotion, I should be congratulating you more on an incredible run. I’ll get those points added for strides too. Quality week.
