  • November 3rd - 9th

Tuesday with the team! Slight tweak on the S&C, up from 15 mins of legs and core work, to 20 across the two sessions. You’re running well so no reason you can’t produce a strong time Saturday. See how you feel the following day but rest up if you prefer.

If the weather is good then this out and back loop provides an excellent opportunity to run a fast time. Let’s just hope that wind behaves itself.

Bit of a disaster in some ways. Have had minor indigestion issues all week and lack of sleep (even for me). Still decided to go for it (4:30 km first 12km) and struggled on for the rest to approx 1.44.30. I found it harder than hastings. On the other hand, poor prep, poor race strategy, and i still got my 3rd fastest time at this distance.
Sorry to hear about the build up but a strong time all the same and it’s always going to be tough to produce your best in those circumstances. All you can do is try hard and again this will have brought some good training benefits as a result. The plans are designed now to get the team peaking for March & April. So I think anything building up to that we can remove some pressure and expectation when it comes to race times and then give ourselves plenty of opportunities during those two months to run some good times. What I’ve found a lot is often the runner I work with won’t achieve their time in their goal race because of the build up and the pressure. But then in the next 2-4 weeks, the PBs come along, because they are more relaxed and in peak shape. So something to think about going forward. But well done Matt.

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
