A timely lighter week in terms of points. As it’s raceday Sunday, be sensible Tuesday, 8/10 effort, pushing to 9/10 for the last 5 reps is a smart approach. Every reason to be confident ahead of Sunday and I think you’ll be surprised, if conditions are good, just how close to 5k pace you can get, perhaps 10 seconds per mile slower, but the difference shouldn’t be much. Any issues let me know, but keep up the great work 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.

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

Good session. Good to have Conal and the other guy (not sure of his name) to chase
That’s Nick, 19:30 5k in the past month or so, a good indication of where you’re at. Impressed with the effort there, felt strong but also controlled ahead of the weekend, so excellent work Glenn.

*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

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

BPM 143, just at the top end of my easy zone
Nice. Yeah if you take a scientific approach the minute you step into Zone 3, you are losing the benefit of what we are hoping to achieve from these runs, but sitting at the top of that zone is fine. Well done Glenn

Zone 5: 10K

10 Mins CD

Zone 2: Easy

5 miles is a really tough distance to get right. Rest assured, this is tough. The first mile is so important, don’t go off too quick and you’ll set yourself up for a strong race. Pace should be right at the top of your Zone 5, 10k target. Towards the end you’ll be working in Zone 6 though from an RPE and heart rate perspective.

35:39 chip time Good run
Yeah strong running Glenn. Not an easy distance to get right but I like the consistency in your splits and it’s always a good sign when the quickest km is the last one.
