If you have a free day Sunday (I know it’s unlikely but wanted to extend the invite) some of us are heading off to do a trail race (22km) and then have lunch afterwards. But the schedule looks decent, a couple of challenging sessions, we don’t really have anything in the schedule now in terms of races, so perhaps have a look to see if anything catches your eye for the upcoming months so we can get something booked in. The few I’m doing are Robertsbridge 10k and Peacehaven 10k but they are both hilly trail races. Any issues this week just shout.

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. Thanks for the info on the runs. Will have a look but at the moment happy to tick over with the training and the occasional Parkrun as I’m now also playing cricket on a Saturday afternoon. Please keep me posted on any local runs though as the Rye 10 and Hastings 5 have been really enjoyable.
No worries. Just want you to feel like you are part of the loop. Cricket. I need reports on that in the feedback. How many runs or wickets you take etc. Ben plays stool ball and is setting a high standard with scores of 73 and 81 in his last 2 innings.

Total of 21 mins of efforts!! A good opportunity to work on a variety of paces across varied reps. The shorter the rep, the quicker you go.

Good session, think I paced it well. Still felt strong on the later reps. That’s impressive from Ben. Not surprising though, I got the impression that he’d be pretty good at any sport he turned his hand to ๐Ÿ˜Š Last weekend I got 12 runs before nicking one behind and took 1/18 off four overs playing for Pett ๐Ÿ‘
Well done Glenn. Decent sesh that. Double figures and a wicket, decent. I once scored more runs than Michael Yardy (England International) in match. It was representing St.Pauls Primary School but in means Gareth isnโ€™t the only international sportsman Iโ€™ve played with ๐Ÿ˜‚

*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. Nice little claim to fame with the Yardy link :-)
Cheers. His name popped up on the bbc sport site this morning actually, something to do with helping England with some coaching. Nice work on the strength stuff. I might join in with the Tuesday session next week so will do my best to keep up with you,

Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics. Strides are essential here, not optional ๐Ÿ˜‰

Bit windy, you can probably tell from the splits when the wind was behind me :-). BPM at 136 so in the right zone. Look forward to Tuesday if youโ€™re taking part
Loving the HR reference now as means you’re thinking on the right lines. If it’s windy like that I just head to the park and run around in circles. It was actually quite calm in the park then I got back home (near the Ridge) and did my strides into what felt like a hurricane. Good job Glenn.

Really like this session. A chance to practice your 10k pace, but break it down into chunks to make it manageable. Enjoy. You got this.

Think it was paced quite well :-)
Yeah loving the splits. Often I find that last km catches people out but you really hit a nice pace there at the end. Fantastic work Glenn.

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Steady run around town. All good
Quality work Glenn. I’m all good for Tuesday, will be doing the hills with you lot after Sunday went well. See you there. Great week, biggest pts total on record so far which highlights the progress.
