I’m excited to see what you can produce in the Friday session for those 1km splits. Conditions being favourable of course. That would be the perfect session to get the metronome out, as would Tuesday to be fair as you can increase the BPM the shorter the reps get. Any problems let me know, but keep up the fantastic work Kirsty. You’re smashing it.

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

Booooom! 💪🏻
Day 1 in the build up to Brighton. I have to say there were parts of the course I ran which were amazing through the city. I found it post race quite overwhelming, but overall a really good event and I think you’ll love it.

A nice progression speed session. Start of at 5k pace for the first 2 reps then look to crank it up and finish off really strongly. Go smash it! You got this.

That was early and a little tough, it was good pace though I think. I need to get the metronome going, I am worried to just have that on though, I think that’s why I’m putting it off 😆
Pace was awesome. Another strong session. It takes a while to get used to the metronome but it’s the secret weapon that will unlock your true potential. Another great session Kirsty. How you feeling about Brighton having been to watch? Excited?

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate. Don’t forget your strides. Very important. 30-60 seconds recovery between strides.

I tried the metronome at 190. I got confused-am I looking for the same foot to land per beat? Still a good pre TWR 26 mins Strides TWR I will persevere with the metronome….
Looked like you had a great group tonight. So if you set the metronome to 95 on the display (that is then 190 cadence). And yes in that case you would pick one foot and try to hit the ground each time the metronome beeps. I think for now, strides is a great place to practice using it, until you get the hang of it.

A really good home workout for the arms and legs. If you are short on time you can superset the exercises. Do 2 back to back without the recoveries. Eg 15 squats, 15 bicep curls, 15 squats and so on….

Everyone loves 1k reps. Right? Especially when there are only 4 of them. Try and hit the lower end of your 5k pace if you can, perhaps even dip under it.

Well look at that…..🧐 all over 5k pace I think 😬
5:21 is your 5k pace. You did one of these at 5:00 flat. 👊💪 Smashed it!!! Awesome work Kirsty.

Pushing beyond that 2 hour barrier is a good mental win. Important to be fuelling and staying hydrated on these runs.

Well that wasn’t fun. At all. Still got the time done and kept it easy easy easy.
They can be a slog sometimes, especially when you are not training for anything specific in terms of long runs. But great for mental toughness so well done Kirsty. Loving the overall training stats. 103% and 122pts average. Both great stats.
