I’ve kept this one relatively light and then we go into a more significant block. Still just easing you in slightly. So 2 nice easy runs and 2 decent sessions to tackle. The parkrun is an opportunity to put a marker down and see how close, or under that 20 minute mark you are right now. You could swap the 90 min and 60 mins run around if that works better, or even do the long run Sunday if you have more availability there. Just let me know if you do need to tweak it. It’s always a weird part of the season so soon after a big event like London, but every week counts and if you maintain the consistency now it will help going forward.

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.

Sorry Simon, only just getting a chance to catch up on last week! S&C done, but forgot the stretches!
No worries. I appreciate you are busy but do definitely keep in touch otherwise I feel like I’m not offering as a good a service as I could.

Zone: 2 Easy

It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.

A very enjoyable session, but tough! Continuous pyramid reps at hard effort with jog recoveries. 60s rests between sets. WU, CD, and stretches also done ๐Ÿ˜
Well done Jamie. I’m happy these sessions are working you hard and pushing the pace, so that’s pleasing.

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.

Finished late at work so only got a 30 min easy run in – had planned to finish another 30 min on Sunday but didn’t get round to it in the heat! Stretches done
They work you too hard.

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.

This was a lovely morning, but got a little bit too hot! ๐Ÿฅต I got very lucky in that I bumped into Jack just before the start who said he was running sub-20, so I managed to use him as a pacer! I felt good throughout the first half running into the cooling breeze, but the second half heat was oppressive, and my legs were not playing ball from about 3.5km and dropped off the pace a bit. On nearing the finish line though I realised I could just be about on for sub-20 and put in a huge kick last 200m or so to just squeak under! WU and strides done, CD reduced to 5 mins as heat was still too much.
any day you clock a parkrun PB is a good run right? Not much else to add, other than congrats on banking another sub 20!! Well done Jamie. Shows you are still running really well/
