Week Commencing: 1st June 26

Choose Day👇

This looks like a good week. 2 really good sessions, ASPT, Bimble and the long run. So many good people to spend time with. Are you interested in either of the upcoming Hastings Runners events. The Alan Corke (9th June) and the Handicap Race (23rd June). I’ve yet to decide but I may well just do efforts both days, even if I only get a handful of people, as not everyone that comes on Tuesdays are HRs. I don’t have either of those races in your plan at the moment. Keep up the great work Lou and any issues let me know.

Great format tonight – I prefer the 4-3-2 etc to the 20x 1 as doesn’t feel as tough psychologically for some reason. Pace was pretty right. I find a shorter sprint easier to push myself with. I was feeling really fatigued all day today and into the evening due to poor sleep. I did not even contemplate not coming as I like to stick to the routine but did wonder if I could do it. Considering this I did well with the amount of effort. Maybe a 6. But I could put more in next time on better sleep. The absolute best outcome of tonight though was driving home with a smile on my face and feeling positive and content, a complete contrast to how I felt on the drive over. That’s worth everything right?!
I love how that session can change your mindset. And you’re right. It’s not all about times and paces, and heart rates for all of us. Getting that enjoyment and shift in mindset is far more important. It’s huge and whilst I talk about threshold and paces a lot, nothing means more to me than hearing feedback like that, so thank you Lou. You did great given how tired you felt. It’s good to be a bit more sensible on days the body needs a bit of self love.

Bimble completed as planned plus strides! Good to have Klare and Ben and Philippa to keep us all accountable for it!
It definitely helps with having the others there. And Ben is a stickler for the plan. Well done Lou

Sue’s 300th so we made a huge effort to turn out in the rain! In didn’t run my best one-had had a late night (and a few proseccos) the night before so this one was all about completing it!
Great work for Sue. 300 parkruns is pretty cool!! Hope you had a fun night before?

A nice route today to Bexhill and back. This was a solid two hours. Lots of effort – about 6 – and it was a very solid pace. Nothing remarkable today but the two hours put in!
It’s a good way of looking at it. So I was short on pts heading into my Sunday run which was meant to be easy. But because I needed extra pts, like you I put more effort in, ran faster and earned a lot more pts. So for you here, 2 hours in Zone 3 pace gets you 60pts rather than a Zone 2 easy run (36pts), so something to remember in the future if you have missed a few runs and need to push a bit harder. Great work Lou. 100% for the week thanks to this extra effort.
