Another great week. Gone with the home workouts until you get back to Colombia and have gym access. The Thursday race excites me. I’m not just saying this to blow smoke up your arse, but think you’re running better than you realise. And I think if conditions are good you might surprise yourself here. That said, make sure you don’t go crazy in those first few kms and then if you feel good put your foot down a bit. Sunday’s session adds a bit of variety to the long run and if still in town perhaps Matt might be interested as your HM pace will push him as well. Any issues just shout, Happy New Year.
A bit of a funny week with a Thursday competition and still kinda being Xmas. Looking forward to getting back to routine. No gym still this week but staying with Matthew so may be able to add a few weights to some exercises
Nailed the target which is the main thing. Yeah if Matt has some weights lying around then adding some of them in can help. And you can always add in some extra to the sessions to make up the pts. I’ll switch over the sessions on the schedule though.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Control what you can. The warm up, strides, getting the early pace right and staying positive when it gets tough. You got this!! If it’s a hilly route do your research.

Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.

Go smash this one!!! A chance to get comfortable running at your target half marathon pace. Try not to go too fast in the early reps when it feels fairly easy.
