If conditions are good Saturday you could switch the progression run for a parkrun (if free). But another solid week with 2 good speed sessions, two easier runs and the S&C. Working at a decent level right now and setting yourself up to be as fit as you’ve ever been in your mid 40s which is pretty cool. An problems let me know.

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. Felt a bit less of a chore this time, got this down to 50 minutes
That’s good, making some progress. Hopefully as you start to notice the difference in your strength you’ll learn to embrace it, but I do understand it can feel like a grind some days. Well done though Glenn. See you Tuesday.

Great session, really enjoyable. Conal is a machine! Just checking, what did your Strava comment mean? 3 at the start of the pace? Interested to see what stat that relates to ๐Ÿ‘
He’s a legend isn’t he. Yeah thought everyone smashed that out of the park tonight. I forget you were a miles man. Strava shows me pace in km and your pace was 3:50 per km (approx) so sub 20 pace which is what caught my eye. So the 3 was reference to that pace. Great work Glenn.

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.

Thanks for the Tuesday feedback. Looking forward to the next Parkrun, think it’s in my plan for a couple of weeks time. Wednesday’s leg/core all done.
Great work Glenn. Yeah the quicker shorter reps should really make a difference to your 5k pace and your well set, if conditions are right to run a quicker one soon.

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

All good, nice little run to Bexhill-on-Sea and back followed by strides in Grosvenor Gardens.
Well done Glenn. It’s nice heading out that way as you get some great views from the top of Galley Hill

A challenging but rewarding session where you can experience what it feels like to run at different paces.

Good run, upping the pace despite a bit of a head wind at the turn :)
Great work Glenn, a tricky session to hit those paces, but sounds like it went well. It’s good as teaches us to start a bit slower and then finish strongly.
