There’s no Tuesday efforts this week because of the Spring 5K (a HR event on Wednesday, not too late to sign up). But some of us will also be in the park Monday evening if you wanted to join us. You could swap your speed session to then. Would be good to have you there and I plan to run as well. Any problems with the schedule just shout.

A good chance to work on your 5k pace. If you can hit the quicker end of zone 6, then perfect. Don’t go too fast though, especially in the early reps.

Nice session on the seafront 👍
Yeah loving that pace. Nudging down towards the 4:00 now. Great work Glenn. Always good to tick off a big session on a Monday

Working on our arms as runners is mainly superficial in truth, in the sense it won’t improve our running much but can help with confidence. Who doesn’t want bigger guns? This session should take no more than 30 mins, combine 2 exercises together (superset) to reduce the total time.

All good. Quick question – this is taking me an hour, which of these could you combine into a superset without falling over :)
Yeah that’s too long. An hour is a grind. The order they are in is designed for the superset method. So 2 exercises without any recovery. You should be smashing that out in 40 mins max. Perhaps even 35. I’ll also reduce some of the reps, as learned recently 15 is too many. We want to be doing 10 at heavier weights to make the right gains, if 10 feels too easy with the current weight do 12. So that will help with the time as well. I’d be interested to hear how much time it saves you next time you smash it out. Well done Glenn.

*reps/seconds on both sides

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

Done
Well done Glenn. Quicker I hope?

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.

All good
Well done Glenn. Bumped into your colleague Ivan who I know well from running, lovely chap, spoke highly of you too, we both did in fact.

Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.

Snuck this one in today. Keeping the RPE down…average pace 9:08, average BPM 148.
Quality work Glenn. Keep ticking them off, all about the consistency.

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

21:24 Not too bad as was quite windy at the turn
Another decent time, especially in those conditions. Awesome work Glenn. Work done for the week, enjoy your Sunday off.
