A nice recovery week after Sunday. I’ve tweaked it slightly so you could run with Horntye on Tuesday (or Wednesday) if you wanted. Nice to have an easy week before the training ramps up again. Any problems let me know.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Strange to not do an efforts session but I know my body needed it.
It’s definitely a case of knowing when to ease back. I’ve made the mistake before of giving runners a tough effort session too soon after a big race and it’s backfired. Well done Michell

Worked today until 4, felt rubbish in all honesty runny nose, head ache, hit and cold. I know you’ll maybe say I shouldn’t have gone but I didn’t want to miss a session 🙈 thought it might actually help. I went along to Horntye for an hour in Darren’s group, it was nice to see everyone and it was tough going with hills after hills, hills I didn’t even know existed 😂 my right hamstring and glute was a bit of a problem, it’s really frustrating. I wondered if I should ready it tomorrow instead of an hour run to give it a couple of days rest before Sunday long run ? I have S&c today so I plan to do that as I’m off work today and just at home where I have a bit of a cold. Will take it easy with my leg 😊 last nights run felt hard work and a bit of an effort, maybe Sunday took more out of me than I realised.
We did see that run and the elevation was a concern, Impossible to do an easy run with that amount of hills. If you need the extra rest and are started to come down with a cold then take it. Extra points here given the hills

So slightly more challenging and time consuming. To save time you can superset some exercises. What does that mean? Well rather than having 60 seconds recovery after your Kettlebell Swings, use that 60 seconds to do the Farmers Walk. And then go back to the Kettlebell Swings again. So you’d alternative 2 exercises and once, then have a short break before doing the same again. It saves as much as 15 mins that you’d otherwise just be standing around. Any issues let me know.

Determined not to miss this session despite sneezing most of the way throughout 🤧 head ache is nothing like yesterday so no excuse I got in the gym this evening. Feeling accomplished 💪🏻✅ it was a really good session, included lots of stretching and band work, finding new ways to exercise with the kettle bells too 😊
Awesome work Michelle 💪

This is the first time I have ever ticked the missed box 😩 BUT I truly believe it was the best decision for me. Allowing me to rest, I have sneezed a hundred times today🤧 also allowed me to make use of the gym and lots of stretching while I think my glute, hip, hamstring needs at the minute. I don’t see this as a failure today but hope it’s going to aid me to complete my long run tomorrow 🙏🏼 positive all the way 😊
Good feedback. There’s been a lot of discussion about training on social media this week as one of the most popular influencers got injured and was then seen exercising the next day. Nick Bester (a coach and elite runner) highlighted the fact that training plans are just a guide and there will always be times we need to listen to the body and rest. And you did just that here. So smart move. Long term it was definitely for the best.

So I switched my Sunday long run to Saturday 😊 I wouldn’t bother with my Strava it all got messed up 🤦‍♀️ I paused it and lost half a mile then forgot to stop it at the finish and recorded a record time in the mile 😂 while travelling in the car 😂 it was just over 2hrs and 11.5 miles going by lous Strava and I looped back as much as her so I’m going with that. It was a nice run although I could not ignore the pain in my glute / hamstring, took a couple of painkillers on route. So frustrating 😩🥹 if no better this week I’m going to book in and see a physio. I know I have been suffering on and off with this for a while, it seems to come and go I think it’s ok but then it’s not. More strength training, stretching, rest, I’m not sure what the answer is. I go out for a run and just hope it’s not there. But if it continues I will address it 😊 Lou led a good run today I am pleased that I went.
Well done Michelle. I am familiar with glute pain. I’ve battled it for a long time. The cause of mine is being sat at my desk for too long. But stretching really helps me. How often do you stretch? Personally I stretch daily. I’m going to add some stretching routines to the dashboard soon, to focus on things like glutes and backs. The one currently on there has some good exercises. I’ll add it to your dashboard for Sunday so you can take a look. In fact yes, I’ve just double checked, that routine is really good. Also if the hamstring and glute is still hurting Tuesday morning don’t do hills in the evening. We can switch that for an easy run. We want you well rested for that Sunday session. I think you’re at a level now where you are capable of sub 2 at HHM, so we just need to be smart and more important to have you injury free than push too hard between now and then. If that means missing the odd effort session, that’s a good thing, it might make you a little slower over 5k but it won’t effect your HM time.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
