It really is a case of more of the same. Good habits, consistency. You’ll continue to make gains and see that 5k time come down. 21:29 for me last week so hoping if I can get some of my pace back we’ll be able to do a parkrun or race together quite soon. Which would be cool. Keep up the great work Glenn.

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 ๐Ÿ’ช
Stick with it and you should really start to notice a difference soon in how you feel. Awesome work Glenn

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.

Strong session. Enjoyed that, good conditions at around my 5k target pace
Yeah strong running Glenn. You looked comfortable, keep pushing on these session and I think we can edge that pace closer to the magic 4:00 mark over the next few months.

*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.

All good
Great work Glenn

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.

Steady along to Bexhill and back. Do you want me to log my strides on Strava as well? Are there any stats to be measured?
It’s not essential. Some do, some don’t. You can use it to see how quick you can do them if you want, but it’s more about working on our form that pace to be honest. Well done on the run.

A good session to mix up paces. WU & CD very important to slowly build the pace. A flat route is ideal here if you can.

Shifted up the pace for the second 5k and felt comfortable. All good
I like that, nice splits. Good bit of progression. It’s something I always do myself if I feel strong late in a session. Cos there will be days when you need to do the opposite. Great work Glenn
