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.

Didn’t really feel too up to this tonight, but was fine once I turned up! I don’t feel that I have fully recovered from previous runs, but got it done, so feel good about that. I think I managed to up the pace for the later reps, although difficult to tell with GPS under Bottle Alley.
Great work Ben, there will sometimes be spells in your training where everything feels hard and like there’s not much rest. The fact it’s been so cold and dark only adds to those feelings, but dig deep and we come through these spells suddenly things change, the races come are way, the weather improves, the evenings get lighter, and we are running at our best. Another strong session.

Started this in horrendous conditions – I don’t think any of us would have done it on our own! Last half hour once rained stopped was not too bad though. Still found it fairly tough, even at an easy pace.
We got hit by the downpour in Eastbourne and it was pretty grim. Huge respect to you all for still going out. I remember the Pier to Pier last year and some of those who took part really moaning about how bad the weather was. But I thought it was alright. And my perception was different because I had run in terrible conditions like this during training. So it does have it’s benefits. Well done Ben.

Easy parkrun

9 POINTS

With Parkrun cancelled did this from home first thing this morning. 32 mins easy. Even tried out new trainers!
What did you buy? The Endorphin Speeds? I got to put my Zoom Fly 6s on for the first time since Chester Marathon yesterday. I got quite emotional 🤦‍♂️😂 Amazing how attached you can get to a good pair of running shoes. Well done on the run by the way.

6 x 1 Mile On/Off

That seemed tough. The first 4 miles was mostly uphill which made it more difficult, but think I got it right in terms of the effort miles and Strava seems to confirm that. Legs felt very heavy at the end, and due to a slower runner or two, there was more looping back than expected and the session overrun. Took the extra mile and a half at the end really easy, as really didn’t have anything left in the legs!
Superb work Ben. Yeah the route was unfortunate as didn’t really do you any favours. There might come a time where it’s better to do a session like this solo or reach out to the training group to see if someone else wants to join you. Whilst it’s nice to run with the group there are times it can hinder us. So just something to ponder, but loads of positives to take from this and some serious points banked. Really well done Ben.
