Two big sessions this week. The Tuesday track and the Sunday long run. The latter being more important. Don’t be afraid to drop the pace, all about time on feet right now, not trying to hit a quick pace. Keep up the great work Kev
Maintaining your current 5k pace will get progressively more challenging as a session unfolds. So breaking it down in this nature should allow you to maintain that pace for the whole session.
Yes, I remember this one. I just about held the pace.
Painful!
It was a tough one but once again your form looked so good. Love how you move, you make it look easy. Well done Kev. Coach Simon 🍊
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.
Couldn’t do this.
Had to drive to a family funeral in Leeds, left wed, retnd fri.
Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
Ran Hazelwood pr, enroute to wolves.
More rain, more mud!
Quite pleased with this. Completely flat course, but a total of 26 90 deg corners, with mud. 24:45 for 68% ag . Cold, wet, muddy, so I’ll take that.
Also did the strides from thurs.
That’s 31 of 65 london park runs completed.
That’s an impressive % of London parkruns done. I think I’ve done 1. Coach Simon 🍊
Time to make sure your fuelling and hydration is on point. 30-60g of carbs per hour. The longer the run goes on the tougher it will get.
Just too much with last weeks travel.
Ran 60 mins easy, so way down. I would have made this up on mon, but had arranged to take my (adult) son to hospital for surgery, was gone all day.
Aiming to get some miles back next week, because I need them now.
Sometimes there are more important things than the training. But if you can make up some pts next week that would be great. But don’t force it as that’s when problems can occur. First aim is always getting to the start line healthy. Coach Simon 🍊
