Week Commencing: 1st June 26

Choose Day👇

What you up to Sunday? A few of us are doing the Weald Challenge. 22km trail race. Sam D is going to put in a decent shift there so thought it might be an opportunity for you to run with him? No worries if you don’t fancy it. All depends how you are set for the Alan Corke the following Tuesday, and racing both would be a mistake. A decent week though, slightly lower in volume just to give the legs a chance to ease back into it.

45 Mins Run

14 POINTS

A lovely 50 mins run, along the seafront, with the sunrise on the horizon. That really was just what I needed, and a nice reminder of what’s important. I will try to stop being so hard on myself going forward. Thanks for the offer of Sunday, but I’m actually looking forward to giving Alan Corke a good go
Never be hard on yourself. Remember that exercise of writing down all your achievements. How could you possibly be hard on yourself having done all that in recent years. Sounds like an amazing run early in the morning, slightly jealous, but great work Joe.

TUESDAY

Hill Reps 60-45-30

22 POINTS

I managed 3 reps, which I’m actually quite happy with, as when I stepped out the door I wasn’t sure if I had any kind of effort session in me. 15 mins of running at an average HR of 170, so I know from listening to Damian Hall’s book that is still a session that will help make some gains
That’s cool. It’s never easy to know how long recovery will be after such a big run, so perhaps we just need a little longer to ease back into. But as you say, still enough stimulus to bring some improvements. So well done Joe.

Joe S&C Session

12 POINTS

Strong sporty woman in white sportswear warm up training running on a treadmill climber stairs machine in gym indoors.

30 Mins Stairs

14 POINTS

Did minimal leg exercises. 3 x 5 @ 85kg leg press and 2 x 90 secs leg press. Did all the upper body. 10 mins on the bike, only because both stair steppers were busy, then 20 mins on stair stepper.
Appreciate the honest feedback, always helps workout where we are in terms of pts. There’s a rumour going round the stairs are magic and now they are more popular than ever

60 Mins Run

18 POINTS

60 mins run done in the early morning sun! Hoping to try out my new bike this evening
Quality work Joe. Exciting news about the bike. Will be interesting to see how it all relates in terms of heart rate and training zones and what benefit you can get.

150 Mins

45 POINTS

Turns out the legs did have 180 mins in them and it felt so comfortable. It’s a great feeling, when you’ve been recovering for a couple of weeks, then all of a sudden you got out for a run and things feel good again. I even pushed a little extra up some of the hills…I’ve never before run up Filsham Road so fast, but as I say, it felt comfortable, which is really pleasing. Maybe I should do a 20 mile bike ride the evening before a long run more often 🤣
😂 I’m not sure that would be the best idea, but as you say, to be able to feel that strong on a long run like that is an amazing feeling and one we should always be so grateful for. Who knows how long it will last. Great work Joe.
