Week Commencing: 1st June 26

Choose Day👇

A decent week, let me know if you’re smashing 80+ runs on Tuesday and I can give you a slightly different session for Wednesday. But lots of good stuff in there again. Just checking you’re still on for both the Alan Corke and the Handicap 5k in upcoming weeks as I have them in the plan? Keep smashing it out of the park Ben (stool ball pun there, you’re welcome).

Did this session. 👍
I never now how to reply to this feedback. It almost feels quite aggressive, straight to the point 😂 So I’ll just say well done Ben and leave it there.

TUESDAY

Did Yoga at lunchtime – about 40 mins. I think this can be put in as a regular Tuesday lunchtime thing now. It was Stoolball this evening, but had worst case scenario as turned up and set up pitch, and then before we could even think about starting it started to rain and got heavier, so game cancelled, and obviously too late to then join you in the park, which I would have done if called off in the afternoon.
Well that’s a bit shit isn’t it 😢 The stool ball being cancelled, not the yoga. I’ll get that added to the dashboard and plan. 4pts for that.

30 Min Tempo (HM)

24 POINTS

Did the Tempo session early on the link road path. Think I just about hit the target pace, taking into account the undulating route, so that felt ok. Then this evening I helped out the Walk to Run group – I was allocated to the fastest group and we did 5 lots of 6 mins with one min recovery. Pace was just under 10 min a mile. In total did just over 5k.
You’re smashing out doubles now. Impressive work Ben. Nice to help the W2R gang as well 👊🍊

Lovely bimble with the gang and even included the strides at the end! No stretch session done.
Great work Ben. You said that as if you guys normally skip the strides 🤷‍♂️

Conditions were not ideal, but the Bimblers were out in force to celebrate Sue W’s 300th Parkrun! With the reduced field no problem starting near the line and able to run at a good pace from the start. Wind was off sea, so not too bad, but must have had an effect on pace. Managed to speed up slightly during race and Strava says it is my fastest 2 miles this year. Ended with 23:22, so my fastest parkrun since my injury (did HR Spring 5k quicker). Did 10 mins WU and 7 mins CD.
I love these little milestones, especially to achieve that in tough conditions is awesome. 300 for Sue is impressive too. Made more special by having you guys there 💙 Just a shame about the weather. But great work Ben. Given it was a quick one I’m going to give you max pts.

Easy easy run. Quite a lot of chatting, particularly in first half, so pace was slow. Overall did just over 11 miles in the 2 hours. 👍
That’s cool and I’m glad to be honest as I mentioned in the message, lots of races coming up, so don’t be afraid to just settle back a little on the easy runs for now. Another strong week banked. 5 stars incoming and your average weekly training pts went up as well. Great stuff Ben.
