Lovely new shiny plan. Any issues let me know now. Apologies for dropping pts on ASPT. But I’ve learned that certain core exercises and upper body exercises just don’t really help our running much, so a circuits class, whilst great for overall fitness won’t be as beneficial as a targeted runner specific S&C workout. You get the extra pts for doing some easy stretches though. Use parkrun as a marker for this plan which we will hopefully beat before the end of this plan. Any problems let me know.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

Did ASPT. ๐Ÿ‘ No ASPT next week due to bank holiday.
Well done Ben, I’ve put in a home workout for next Monday. What better way to spend your bank holiday Monday. You must get all 4 days off? Nice. I can’t even remember those days anymore.

Really enjoyed the efforts session, and great to do it in daylight! Pleased to manage the pace and get faster for each rep. Didn’t do stretches session, but about to do them now (Wednesday).
Excellent work Ben, how beautiful was that sky? What a treat and really well done on the session. If there is anyone I can trust to be dialled in on their paces it’s you. I think the next 6 weeks or so when we go back to shorter quicker reps will hopefully really make a difference to your 5k speed.

I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load. Don’t forget those strides as well (if highlighted)

Bimbled around the park. Included a few strides (5 I think) towards the end. Couldn’t do afterwards on my own as we were having cake for Klare’s birthday! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜Š Didn’t have time for stretches, so will do today (Friday).
Sound fun, I love the park, we are so lucky. 5 is better than 4 right? Hope the cake was tasty. Well done Ben.

26pts | parkrun

26 POINTS

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

26 Points
Did 10 mins warm up. So packed at the start that couldn’t get anywhere near the front, and that meant I spent the first 1k trying to get past people and up to pace. Pace was decent after that, and overall time was 23:55. Probably similar to last week when I did 23:23 if it wasn’t for that first 1k. Felt fairly strong for rest of run, even into the headwind on the way back. 10 min cooldown.
That was a particularly busy parkrun wasn’t it? But good to keep that consistency and chipping away at that time. We might be quite close Wednesday as Garmin telling my 5k time should be around 23:00 ๐Ÿค” Well done Ben

36pts | 120 Mins Run

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

36 Points
Joined the HR 2 SLR. felt ok, although hard work when running into the wind on the seafront. Definitely felt better than the 2 hour runs from a few months ago, so that is a good sign!
Nice. Looking at your HR stats on Strava you were cruising which is a great sign for these type of runs. Keep ticking them off Ben. Another strong week in the bank
