The only thing I ask Sunday is to try your best. If you need to walk some of the hills, that’s fine. We are still in week 3 of this plan so don’t put any pressure or expectation on yourself. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. Just go out there, run tall and proud and give it your best shot. With Sunday being such a tough race the rest of the week is fairly generous. You could switch a gym session for a spin if you wanted to although does push us over the pts target, a little, so just be careful if doing that. Any problems let me know.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. This session is tough but will really help you make big gains. Use the downhill as a light recovery jog, so exact recovery times can be flexible.

I think it went ok for a hill session. Definitely a big improvement on the last one I did just before the HHM
It’s great when you can see those improvements and I think in a few months time if the plan goes well you’ll feel even stronger. Lou and Philippa are sub 30 min 5k runners so nice to have them there as a marker of where your fitness is at. Great work Jo!

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.

Whoop! Got out before the rain. Nice morning for a run.
You did well, as I think a lot of runners will have got soaked. Great work Jo.

Pleased with that session
Really pleased to hear that. S&C doesn’t need to be complicated and we don’t really need to change it up much. Just be consistent. Paul has done the same thing, twice a week for 2 years and completely transformed his body, keeping it simple. Awesome work Jo.

WU is key. CD not as important, but if you have done a fast 10 miles it’s recommended. Also if going for a quick one including drills and strides (4 bonus pts) is worth while too.

Knowing your goal pace beforehand is important and ensuring you don’t go off too quick is crucial. Obviously that will be determined by the elevation of the route. But I’m always happy to discuss pacing strategies and race tactics beforehand.

Good Luck!! You got this ๐Ÿ’ช

Can’t be disappointed with that. Got a bit of cramp in both calves at mile 8 that was a shame.
That’s a strong performance on a very tough course. Races don’t get much tougher than that. Cramp at mile 8 is a little concern and maybe something we need to look at if it happens again. But might have just been they were overworked on the hills. Fantastic running though Jo. Keep being consistent with the training and I’m confident there are plenty more strong runs ahead. An excellent week of training.
