This was meant to be a recovery week but actually that’s good because it now gives us a chance to catch up a bit from the birthday week. Hopefully you don’t feel like you need a recovery? Lots of low heart rate aerobic work this week which will help for the Bewl 15 and P2P but then we combine it with that quality session, ideal for the 5 miler. A solid all round week. Enjoy.

Zone 2: Easy

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

No surprises!
My favourite type of run. Get it done without anything to worry about. Well done Victoria.

Zone 2-3: Easy/Steady

Likely your heart rate will climb as you run up the hills, so don’t worry too much about drifting into Zone 3 for the hills, try and keep the rest in Zone 2.

Bit harder to gauge but went by feel, obviously some was downhill but not too bad
I think I realised the benefit of HR training when I did hills the other day. My slowest km was 7:07, my quickest 5:10. And the HR was higher for the 7:07. Pace should be the least important things for these runs so good to do it to RPE as well.

You’ve well educated in this area so more than happy if you want to mix it up.

Swapped with wed run due to weather. Did just over hour, similar to last week – weights, bands, did a bit more core. Back on single leg for most, no issues, really helps that right hamstring
Great work Victoria. Sounds like a decent workout and 60 mins is a good time to commit to strength.

I love this session. It’s very challenging. To clarify it’s reps of 1200 metres with the last 200 metres at a quicker pace. If you get the pace right for the 1k part of the rep, there should be a little bit of energy left to increase the speed for 200 metres at the end. You’ll be working really hard at that point. Enjoy. You Got This.

Zone 2: Easy

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Got absolutely slammed with work this week and all weekend, none of which I can afford to say no to right now ๐Ÿ˜ฌ If I felt fresher I would squeeze in tonight but some long hours standing have really built up, plus a Sunday legging it round London delivering. On flip side next week is dead so I can get everything done – if I do this 2hr run Monday do you think that will work given I’m not on my feet so much this week with work so a lot less drained? To replace the missed interval session, if I tag on some strides to a run or two and an extra s&c session wear should be back up to points?
Good news on the work right? And no worries about the run. I get it. I wouldn’t go chasing just yet. I still feel like you’re running well and the odd missed session won’t change that. If we have a few more busy weeks then I can look to tweak the plan, but better to spread those missing pts over a 4-6 week period than cram too much into the space of 7-14 days. If you have already headed out for the run when reading this I can always adjust this weeks schedule.
