Week Commencing: 8 June 26

Firstly, don’t underplay how good winning the FV50 prize here it. You might think it’s not much, but this is a club with more than 500 members and a lot of them are over 50 women. So it would showcase just how strong you are. One way would just run your own race, or you could target your rivals, almost certainly to be Sue Hull, who is strong and have a bit of fun and race her. Sit in behind, save some energy and take her at the end, that would be fun right? Assuming she turns up of course. That’s how I would run it, but then I am ultra competitive. The other two runs are easy, albeit a long run Sunday as we build for Bewl and the P2P. Any issues or questions just ask. You got this Victoria.

Enjoyed that! Garmin got me at 55 mins but 10.4 k for some reason so not sure what timing will be. 1st female vet, maybe 4th Female home?
You are so good!! 4th female is class and there were some decent runners out there last night. Congrats on the vets prize as well. I’m already training hard now for 4 years time in case I get a chance of winning one of those 😂 Excellent running Victoria

One thing about getting old, actually have a chance of winning something! 😂 Full body, did some standing jumps, step downs, single leg rdl. Bit of sled with bit more weight, assisted pull up, so some fun stuff. Have signed up for a half early November (Dorney Lake), on reserve for the south downs bimble thing with HR?
I still think in your head you believe you’re an average runner, when you’re not. Please know that right. You are really strong and deserve that win on Tuesday, nothing to do with age. I think there are probably 100 female members in our club over 50 (at least) and you are the best of those. Remember that. I appreciate you sharing the exercises, always keen to know what you are up to. My deadlift is definitely getting better. Still worried about the single leg stuff as some pain in my left knee. You’ll be unlucky if you don’t get in the bimble as people often pull out. It’s fab. I hope you get in, such a great day out, and loads of the team, past and present running this year. Including myself.

60 Mins & Strides

22 POINTS

Did Sunday after Heathfield, work got away with me…
I saw this and thought what the hell 😂 Firstly, respect, for still getting it done, but be careful. That’s pushing the boundaries a bit and risking injury. The more pts we cram into one day, the higher the risk of injury. That said the guy who finished 2nd at Heathfield always goes back out and does “recovery hills” after a race, so if it works for him…..but yes, I wouldn’t make a habit of this.

So Heathfield instead, where I won and didn’t know! 😂 I’ll grab that off you after hols – put me down for some Tue coaching sessions 👍 Went well, felt great all way round. Did my missed easy 60 after, hr bit high (no hrm) but prob due to mornings run or heat, or Tiesto…
Firstly, brilliant running at Heathfield, age cat win and 1st Hastings Runners back. That’s awesome. But I would say be careful. The 2nd run, we just didn’t need that and the risk outweighs the return. So definitely try and avoid that in future if you can. Although I do respect you for your commitment. Well done Victoria.
