Timely recovery week with the trip to London on Sunday. Tuesday is a great chance to practice your parkrun pace for Saturday and you should know then what pace you can aim for, hopefully the wind will be kind. Keep the other runs nice and easy and keep smashing out those strength workouts. You’re going to be ripped soon. Any issues just shout. Keep up the fantastic work Kirsty.

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.

A good chance to work on your 5k pace. If you can hit the quicker end of zone 6, then perfect. Don’t go too fast though, especially in the early reps.

๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป well these seem to be going well donโ€™t they
Agree, the pace has definitely improved at the start of this plan. Although did we miss a rep here? 4 rather than 5? ๐Ÿค”

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.

27mins. strides. TWR. I learnt to count today! Used the metronome, itโ€™s going to take practice, Iโ€™ve not looked at strides stats yetโ€ฆ. Iโ€™m using st Helenโ€™s Road as my pre TWR so I get cheeky hill training too! Off to get matts bib tomorrow!
IS TWR always 30 mins? If so we’ve banked an extra 7 mins? I’m learning to count too ๐Ÿ˜‚ So 2 of those missing pts regained in which case. Keep practicing with the metronome.

Zone 2: Easy

Nice and easy. Smile, relax and enjoy. Love life!

Should I be wearing my zoom flys all the time? I ran in my Pegasus 40s and felt like I was running in my converse ๐Ÿคจ Still 30mins done, learning running lessons all the time
It’s a good question. And I know what you mean, where I have been coming back from injury and running less I have being doing all my runs in either my Zoom Flys or Endorphin speeds, simply because it’s more enjoyable right? If you can afford to run in the better shoes, that would be my advice. Running should be fun and if certain shoes make running more enjoyable, keep wearing them ๐Ÿ˜

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.

Eerrrrrr what just happened?
If you train smart and keep hitting your targets then you will continue to improve. That’s what happened. And I think there will be more of these this year if you continue on the path you are on right now. Awesome work Kirsty. Congrats on your PB. And thanks for doing the strides as well. Good luck to Matt (sorry if that’s not your mans name ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ , is it Matt? I’m sure it is) tomorrow and hope you have a fab day.
