I’ve switched things around this week as I don’t think you want to be doing BRT intervals 2 days before the 10k race. You could, but I think it’s a bad idea. A threshold session should be ok though and is a good intensity to be working at 3 days out. If you are unsure on that in terms of heart rate and LT2 drop me a message and we can discuss. I think it will really help long term, especially for your marathon time.

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.

Done and done ๐Ÿ˜
Fab and fab!!!

Recovery/Easy

Focus purely on HR, you might find it takes a while to get up to just under LT2, but the 2nd and 3rd reps we should be sitting just under that number and hopefully running somewhere between HM & 10k pace.

This was a good session – with the windy weather I purposely kept the pace back a touch to keep HR below threshold. On the threshold point, my max HR is at least 205, and my Garmin estimates lactate threshold every now and then and it always hovers around the 185-187 mark!
205, blimey that’s high. But good way to approach these sessions. I will look to do something similar going forward but not necessarily refer to them as threshold, more Zone 5: 10k. But if you work to heart rate rather than pace which I think is a good way of doing it, then the lower reaches of Zone 5 is almost certainly going to be sub threshold. Hope that makes sense?

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

The weather this week has been bonkers. Excellent work though Jamie.

Control what you can. The warm up, strides, getting the early pace right and staying positive when it gets tough. You got this!!

Very happy with how this went! During the warm-up I went up to the right hand turn to see how the wind was, which I think helped because I realised how conservative I would need to be at the start. The first km had a cross wind rather than headwind so was a touch faster, but from km 2 I pulled the pace back a bit and increased every km from there. Finished strong in 10th with a new PB! Didn’t get the CD in as I was getting a lift back into Rye. Stretches done later.
Awesome work Jamie. Very clever to check the wind for the warm up. I like that. Clearly made a big difference to the pacing on the way out. It’s great when you get that proof that the training and hard work is paying off and to run this time in those conditions is fantastic. More to come I think. Congrats on the PB.

Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.

Didn’t have the time free to do this Saturday, so got it done Sunday afternoon instead. A touch windy, but still probably the better day to do it weather wise looking at some of the parkrunners runs ๐Ÿ˜‚
Good thing you didn’t have time Saturday. I had a rest day and sent Jax out to do parkrun. She wasn’t happy ๐Ÿ˜‚ Nice way to finish and excellent week. Top work Jamie.
