I think I’m right in saying it’s the 500th parkrun at Hastings this week. So I’ve made sure I put it in and I know you were keen to have another crack, hopefully the wind plays ball. Any problems let me know. Another quality quick session to look forward to on Tuesday as well. Keep doing what you are doing Glenn.

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
On a bank holiday as well. Great commitment. Well done Glenn.

Always a favourite with the team! Keep that first rep at 5k pace and then start to ramp up that speed. Enjoy!

Great session, loved that. Didn’t go too mad for the first few reps and had plenty in the tank for the 4×1 reps at the end. Had a good little group to run with as well
Perfect execution and that’s the idea as you then pace the races or parkruns much better. You did have a good little group as well which helps. Always nice to to hear you enjoyed. The ramp up is normally very popular with the group. Great running Glenn, second week in a row the pace was sub 20 5k pace.

*reps/seconds on both sides

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.

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

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 to Bexhill and back with strides in Grosvenor Gardens. No issues.
Nice. Good place to smash out the strides as easy to measure the distance. Well done Glenn

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

20:45 new PB Thanks coach :-)
Congrats Glenn, and a bit of breeze out there too. I saw you in the distance and knowing my own time I knew you were close. Keep chipping away at that PB. Hopefully get the chance to run together soon, I’m getting closer. Had a great pack today with Conal, Jimmy and Matt.

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Steady run round town
I love as we get fitter how 2 hours suddenly becomes a casual jog around town. Shows how good the fitness is right now as not many people could do that. Well done Glenn
