I have Thursday onwards as marked as holiday, but have pencilled in the sessions anyhow, but happy to take them out if you are off and unavailable. Just wanted you to know I had noted those dates and holiday. Coming back and ready to train again on the 13th May?

10pts | 60 Mins Pilates

10 POINTS

Always a good session to work on flexibility and strength.

10 Points
Pilates cancelled due to Bank Holiday so planned my own exercises with guidance from Runners World: Five Hip Extensions to ramp up pace (apparently)! 1.Single leg glute bridge 2.Deadlift 3.Kickstand deadlift 4.Glute bridge walk out 5.Romanian Deadlift Knee Strengthening Exercises 1.Forward lunge 2.Single leg box step down 3. Single leg box step up 4.Forearm side plank with clam shells I also threw in some press-ups cos I hate them and find them difficult and some rolls backs up to a seated position. I started with calf raises.
That is a very good session. Runners World seem to know what they are talking about πŸ˜‚ (you’d like to think that is the case). But well done Jan. A good strong start to the week and done on a bank holiday too.

12pts | Jan’s S&C

12 POINTS

NOTE: You can click on any of the exercises to view a tutorial.

*Signifies you need to do each side (so twice the number of reps)

This should be a good all round workout which will hopefully help with you keep those niggles at bay. The idea being we can slowly add to these. Those doing the best with their strength are the ones who keep it simple and consistent, week in week out.

If time is ever an issue. You can do some supersets. What is a superset? It means combined 2 exercises together, ideally ones that are different.

For example you might do 1 set of Bent Knee Calf Raises, and rather than just twiddle your thumbs for 60 seconds before doing the next set, you do a wall sit inbetween.

S&C’s done – I mixed things up a little for the glute bridge, doing the single leg glute bridge once on each leg and the standard glute bridge once. I did the same with deadlift, doing the kickstand deadlift on each leg and then the regular deadlift once. The same again with the side plank, doing the side plank with clam shells on each side and the regular side plank on each side. Hope you’re ok with that.
No that’s fine. To be honest I do the same in the gym myself. I change up some of my exercises from time to time. The most important thing having the S&C there is we follow a certain routine but more key is we “get it done”. So really well done Jan.

22pts | 60 Mins & Strides

22 POINTS

Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

22 Points
Great easy paced, very comfortable run tonight. Did my strides with Martin tonight and they also felt fine. Martin was sprinting back and forth so we had a chat and we did the strides together as they should be done (according to AI) πŸ˜„
Yeah some people do get a bit carried away with strides and run them as a sprint. Nice to see the Team doing that bit extra after a session too. Martin is great. Glad you had a nice comfortable run before, exactly what we are looking for with our easier runs. Well done Jan

9pts | 30 Mins Swim

9 POINTS

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.

28pts | Club Intervals

28 POINTS

It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.

29 Points
Swim – back to boring! Watch didn’t record the number of laps I swam. It was actually 30 Surprised myself tonight. I didn’t think it would be possible to complete a hill training session following Sunday’s tough hills and running last night as well. I’ve also been walking a lot this week as the car has been in the garage – so a 6 mile walk on Tuesday and 5 miles on Wednesday. But I did it and with ‘relative’ ease! The toughest aspect of it was the flat section along clambers (my quads really felt it) πŸ˜… The hill didn’t feel too bad, although there is no getting away from the fact that it is a tough session and I had to work hard to achieve it. Very pleased with my effort.
Sounds like a good days work. Sometimes the training we do can have such a positive impact on others areas of our life, like being able to walk all those extra distances without too much trouble. Your dislike for swimming always makes me chuckle as well. Well done Jan. slightly less points than on the plan due to Club Intervals covering all sessions (including track which are up to 30 mins of running right now). Any questions just ask.
