Nothing too strenuous to begin with. The 400s sounds a lot but so long as you don’t go quicker than 5k pace it should just feel comfortable hard. Hope the gym is still an option for the S&C and if we need to tweak that slightly let me know. Good to have you back on plan Ben.

Just a little leg turnover of the legs and a chance to get some miles in at half marathon pace.

Pleased with my splits as in a very hot town ATM. Headed out early to get the best of the day
Nice, loving kms 5 and 6 in particular. HR looked in a good place at that stage too. If you know your max heart rate ping it over and I’ll get the zones line up at the top of the dashboard. I’ve just added training paces to that, I’ve factored in conditions a little where you are, as in cooler climates you are probably quicker than those targets currently on the dashboard. Any questions about this just ask. The change is there to give a bit of a range for different paces, but also allow people who might also like to work to HR to have more a guide to follow.

I’ve created a good all round gym session here. There might be some exercises the physio has given you that we need to work in. Let me know the key ones from that and I can chop and change a little. It might take us a while to get it perfect but those that have made the best gains with their strength work just do the same thing week in week out with only a few tweaks here and there.

If time is limited what I do is pair exercises together and go from one to the other without the recovery. I’ve tried to pair some up for you. For example you could do 3 x 15 Bicep Curls and then use the same barbell for your deadlifts, so straight away you’re saving about 3-4 mins by not needing 60s recovery in between each of those exercises.

Great work Ben!!

Zone 2: Easy

A threshold session in disguise. So whilst your pace will be Zone 6: 5k, because the reps are so short, you should find your heart rate stays in Zone 5, and below your LT2 (if you have that data). You can choose to run this session specifically to HR if you prefer. If you start to struggle, increase recovery slightly.

Completed Saturday morning. Did 10 x 400m and found it tough tbh. 4km warm up essentially as my nearest park is that distance away and then 4km back. Felt good to be pushing it again tho.
With the extra WU & CD pretty much hit the target. But having listened to the feedback from others doing this session it’s clearly one that should be built up towards with some lighter sessions first. But appreciate you having a decent crack at it. Well done Ben.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Well done Ben!! Great performance by England.

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Struggled with tired legs after yesterday. Lesson learned – not to do a speed session day before a long run. Felt good to get nearly 19km in the bank tho. And no closed roads today as it’s election day here in Colombia. Lesson
Yeah I basically include the long run as a “hard run” in my head and will always try and have a day off between hard runs. Easy said that done sometimes. A good first week though with over 50km in the bank. Always take the positives.
