Week Commencing: 4 May 26

Choose Day👇

If you want that 2nd rest day then doing pilates on Thursday with Run Club is a good option. Gives you a day to recover. See how you feel Tuesday as well. You might need more time to recover y from the half marathon, perhaps switching the session with Run Club just this once will work better. But the fact it’s 10k pace might help. Any issues though let me know but this is a decent week with 128pts up for grabs.

Very tough. Legs were still feeling it after Sunday. But worked really hard and hit the targets. A good one 😀 Did stretches when got home and dont feel too stiff this morning (Weds) which is good 👍
Yeah it’s always tricky doing a session after a big race but you know what it’s good practice for how you’ll feel in the 2nd half of a 10k, sometimes it can be the best form of training. And glad you don’t feel too bad this morning. Quick recovery is always a good sign of fitness. Excellent work Andy

Did this on Friday due to class availability. Was tired but worked really hard and enjoyed it
Bosh!! Awesome work Andy. Glad you enjoyed it as well. Often forgotten sometimes when it comes to fitness. Should still be our priority.

40 Mins & Strides

16 POINTS

40mins with run club, all good! Did a bonus yoga class afterwards with the lady who runs the run club! Was a really good stretch and recovery. Planning to add my strides after another activity later in the week
Yoga will have made up for the missing strides. Good to support those in your club too and will definitely help continue to improve that flexibility. Well done Andy.

Circuits class today. I can’t see the reschedule option on the dashboard
I’ve taken it down for now as certain people were not great at rescheduling things properly. I may add it back, but for now just drop me a message if you want to switch things up, it only takes 30 seconds my end and I can then check to make sure you are getting enough recovery in between key session.

parkrun

26 POINTS

Wet windy, horrible morning for parkrun. However surprised myself and ran strong despite being sore from circuits last night. Set out with original aim of sub 30 but went out fast and managed to hold on for a sub 28! Very happy with this. Did stretches when got home and held relive some stiffness
Yeah I saw the pace. Very good run given you did class last night and positive signs already that you are making decent progress. I’m sure this continue to improve as we get into the meat of this training block, but for now, every reason to be happy with how you are running. Awesome work Andy. And well done on the stretches too. Every point counts.

Was very very sore after yesterday’s speedy parkrun. Did the missing pilates in the morning and this helped a bit. Went out for the run later, originally intended to just see how id do, wasnt quite sure the legs could take the full 2 hours. But pushed on through it on got it done, proud of completing this and felt I kept the pace nice and steady
I think that emotion and sense of pride afterwards is something to bottle for the future. I was saying this to a runner this morning, it’s not always about times, but if we can be proud of ourselves for what we do week in week out, that is way more important. So next time you don’t feel it, just remember how this felt afterwards and there’s the motivation you need. I’m proud of you too, and whilst that sounds cheesy, it’s genuine cos the easy option that late in the week would have been to stay at home with your feet up and then you would have been disappointed not to hit your targets. But you didn’t, so really well done and an excellent week overall.
