Choose Day👇

I’m working you pretty hard right now. How does the training load feel? Is it ok? Too demanding? Not tough enough? I just want to make sure you don’t feel like you’re always exhausted. What you’re doing is so impressive, I hope you know that. The fitness is there, just keep doing what you are doing and one of these days you are going to surprise yourself in a race. Any issues shout. Keep up the great work Kirsty.

How does it feel to be forgotten? Ok I’m not in a witty mood today! Had to google a song and its lyrics!!!! I forgot to set an alarm so squeezed this on very rushed tonight ffs! Still I’ve my eye on the next star so I can’t not do this! Also Lou and I have been talking…..we’d like star merch 🫣🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
“We’ve come a long way. But we’re not too sure where we’ve been”, I always have to google the lyrics 😂 but that did spring to my mind. Well done on squeezing this in. Yeah I like the idea of star merch. I will investigate and open to ideas, just a little swamped at the moment (which is a good thing), but it will settle down and I’ll have some time to look into that for you. Albeit once you get it, it might be outdated a few weeks later when you earn another star 🌟🤷‍♂️

A lovely rainy run! Normal summer resumed! I do like this session 🙌🏻💪🏻
To smash that out 2 days after the 5 mile is impressive. Again the pace is fantastic. Even on the longer rep you’re ahead of your current 5k pace. Very impressed. Good to have our normal summer back 😂 Top work Kirsty

30 min up the hill, and I did it! Looped back then strides and TWR, all in all good global running day sessions! HAPPY GLOBAL RUNNING DAY COACH
Right back at ya! Although now feel like I’ve let people down by not running yesterday. That said I did coach some kids and did some running with them, so that counts. Well done for getting all the way up the hill (I’m sure there’s a song lyric there somewhere about hills up and running 🤦🏻‍♂️) and for another successful TWR

I’m standing on the roof top shouting out baby I’m ready to go! 🙃😂 Thursday, started the right way 💪🏻🙌🏻
I once got a lift home from my boss at the golf club in his new lotus. Roof down in the middle of summer and that tune 🎵 came on, he turned up the volume full blast as we drove through Hastings, I felt so cool. Great work on the strength today. I’m off to add that tune to my Spotify long run playlist

20 x 200 Metres

Who’s speedier than a speed train? ME! 😆 even against that head wind today!!! So why do I struggle to do this on a silly 5k? Enjoyed that today! 200meters rather fast today! Thought I had 5 reps left and I had 1, time flys when you’re having fun hey!
Another fantastic session. I think the 5k is a mental thing. And something next time you have one lined up, we can chat about it. I think I have a solution. All this work you are doing though, when we do get that 5k right, you’re going to be shocked what it says across the finish line.

A better LR today. HR was low so that’s good…. Very much looked at that rather than pace. Over dressed so a bit hot!
I really feel HR is the way to go. Late in that run you were right in the lower end of Zone 2 which is great. But equally if focusing on HR you could look at that and see you’re around 120 and think, actually I can push the pace a bit here and still comfortably be in Zone 2. So HR dictates pace, rather than the other way around. I think this tiny switch will make a big difference for you. Well done Kirsty. Another great week. Welcome to the 6 star club!!
