I did look at this and my first instinct was “meh”. I shouldn’t really admit that as the coach, but it’s largely down to the fact of the sessions this week. Obviously I have no control over the Tuesdays but they have been great yesterday and sticking a “parkrun” in there often feels uncreative. But a good chance to show how well you are running if the weather is kind. And you could switch Thursday and Saturday over if you wanted to do a NYD parkrun, I guess that depends on the night before. What I will add is the training gets way more interesting from the follow week with the marathon sessions rolling into town. That’s when the training gets serious and we start that preparation for Manchester. Thanks for your faith in me this year, and I’m confident if you stick with it, the results in 2026 will be excellent. Happy New Year Adam.

Well done Adam. That would make sense about Sunday. I always remember attempting and effort session one day and I just couldn’t get started. I left questioning my motivation and if I’d ever get it back. Next day I tested positive for Covid 🤣

With your extended warm and cool down this currently earns 40 training pts. If anything does change (shorter WU, less intense session), let me know and I can tweak one of the other runs later in the week.

No club so went rogue 10x 800>120 jog recovery + extended wu/cd- 13mi.
Wowzers. That is a big session. Some really good splits in there once you got warmed up too. Hitting 10k pace nicely. Fantastic work Adam. Some decent bonus points in there.

Well done Adam. I suppose if you’re off work (?) there’s going to be that urge to get out and run. Thanks for keeping it light and short. 10pts extra banked.

Cold plunge? At this time of year, are you mad? Supposed to be good though, I think it’s probably the one thing I would never do, even if made me a bit quicker. The Sauna, now yes, that sounds fun. But well done Adam, and thank you, Happy New Year to you and your family.

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.

Parkrun cancelled so just went for a light tempo 4 to feel and ground conditions. 9x strides (not 8) and CD before a trip to Sevenoaks for football
Pretty much hitting the targets which is good given parkrun was off and the conditions were tricky. Hope you have a good afternoon at the football. Well done Adam.

All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.

As per plan easy long run, 18.56mi, Average pace 7:55, HR 142, 1,215ft elevation.
So good!!! Love that pace and heart rate. Awesome work Adam!
