I’ve added in parkrun as extra. If you wanted to rest the legs before Sunday you could ditch that, add strides to Thursday and you would hit the original target of 111pts. But another really good week with 2 tough sessions. If it feels a grind this week just know you’ve got a recovery week coming up with 3 easy runs. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Ben.
Found every session tough this week, so looking forward to an easier/recovery week. I think the return to work after the Christmas break just meant that I was not as refreshed as I have been before so that may have had an effect.
My new shoes were the ones that you linked to – Endorphin Speeds. 👍
Possibly the hardest week of the year, with the weather, the training load and the return to work. But the fact you bagged all the pts and some extra is fantastic given that was the case. Hopefully this recovery week will help you feel fresher when we next do a week like this. Great work Ben and welcome to the Endorphin Speeds club.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.
*Recoveries: 2 Mins Between All Reps
Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.

I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load.

“Easy means Easy! Not 5k pace, not 10k pace, not even marathon pace. Easy pace!! 😉”
Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.
Thank you.
A good chance to get some miles in at goal pace. Adds some variety to your long run as well. If the route isn’t flat or conditions are challenging focus on RPE over pace. It’s not always essential to hit goal pace in these sessions. Obviously into a strong headwind you will be slower.
