I did originally have 200 metre reps in there for Tuesday but then I thought, what happened if you got injured doing 200s 12 days before your marathon, I’d feel awful. So let’s be smart, the strides are still worth doing at a sensible effort, but the rest keep easy, now we are in the big taper week to leave you fresh come Paris. Any problems let me know, but enjoy the lighter week.

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

5 Mile route done with run club, quite a tough route as it had quite a lot of uphill in the first half but a nice mile of down hill between miles 3 and 4.
Fab work. I did tweak last weeks target and this to allow for this run, just in case you wondered why it had changed. So nice to run with people. I got to do my first track session with my club since before lockdown last night and it was such fun. It makes such a difference. Well done Sarah.

Some stretching exercises done at home.

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

Good circuits class this week including RDLs, split squats, hip thrusts, banded squats steps and some core strength stuff
Yeah some really good exercises in there. Ideal for runners. Excellent work Sarah

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100m Strides

Zone 7: 3k

Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.

Steady 5k run with full circle run club, extra run for Good Friday featuring an Easter treasure hunt. 5 mins short and still need to do my strides so will add on to Sunday
Lovely to run with the club on a holiday. Sounds fun. Well done Sarah. Keep the strides steady Sunday, very close to marathon day now and don’t want to do any damage.

Zone 2

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.

Had a really good parkrun today, except for being a touch fast. It was another one that I hadnโ€™t done before but it was 3 laps so knew what to expect after the first lap. Started off nice and steady and tried to keep it reined in for the first 2 laps, did pick up in the second half of the 3rd lap as I had been steadily closing in on two friends and wanted to overtake them haha. I was really happy with my pacing as I had negative splits! I also felt really good, it was only just less than a minute slower than last week but last week it really felt like an all out effort (although last weeks was a bit hillier), today I felt really quite comfortable until I picked it up towards the end. Also it was a U ticked off on our alphabet challenge.
Love this feedback. It’s so nice when you can feel the progression and run a strong parkrun like this. And you’ve done that, no-one else has put that effort in to get you to this point. So be proud of that, and another little confidence boost ahead of next weekend. Awesome work Sarah
