Week Commencing: 4 May 26

Choose Day👇

Two lovely easy runs. A anaerobic session (still important to get the pace right and not go too fast) and a threshold tempo run. Combined with the easy aerobic sessions and S&CV and we have a perfect recipe this week. Running really is simple and that’s the beauty of it in my opinion. A real opportunity this week to make some decent gains. Any problems let me know. You got this Victoria.

Was going to squeeze in Sat but thought better of it not being 100% on it.
No worries!! Chasing pts can lead to problems, sometimes it’s best just to start the next week fresh.

Hr monitor does read lower. Its a bit high after weekend, I’m apparently ‘strained’ right now… but, average was still at least 10 points lower and seemed easier to do, rather than having to pull back every few mins just to stay under 150. With a bit of work should be 👍
That’s positive. I might have to buy one myself. I think if we go down this route of more HR based stuff it’s important we create zones which are specific to you rather than relying on Garmin. That will just take some experimenting but something we can chat about going forward to get it right. Well done Victoria.

Should have got that done earlier, hot! OK I think, not amazing but not disapointed either
Looked a good workout on Strava. HR suggests you were working at the right level. Pace was decent, reckon you’ve got a bit quicker in there for 10k but when you factor in the heat and running solo that’s still a quality workout. Might introduce a new zone model for training going forward, so watch this space. Ideal being each Zone will relate to a certain pace, HR and RPE. So on a day where the pace might not be there you can focus on one of the other data fields and still feel like you’ve hit the targets. Ideally all 3 would align but we all know that won’t always happen. Great work Victoria

Not too bad, hrv still not 100% and bit of effort into wind but ok. Feeling more positive about these runs now I’m able to get a better handle on how cadence and breathing should feel like rather than being a bit all over the place with guesswork.
Yeah definitely feels like a better pace compared to when you were doing these quicker than Marathon pace on the last plan. Hopefully this will bring more gains and even allow you to do more if you wanted. Well doneVictoria.
