I’ve put the Winter 5k in as I was hopeful you’d be available to do that. Unlikely anyone will be doing a long run that day and that was the original schedule. But we can tweak it if need be. The Ramp up session will be done at track on Monday and again Tuesday evening with my lot, so either of those will be fine. It feels like you are starting to run really well again now which is great to see. Keep up the great work Ellie.
Just three sessions done this week so a gentle week – Wed run, exercises and Sweep Marshall gentle 5k on Sunday. I now have completed the Club Championship points for this year.
I know I need to up the effort next week.
You have been unlucky with the back issue, and we are still quite early on in terms of preparation for the next race season (March/April), so plenty of time to get on track and keep improving that fitness. Whilst you’ve missed some sessions of late I’m still really happy how you are running right now. So lots to be positive about Ellie and lots to look forward to as well.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Always a great race and seems to create a different atmosphere to parkrun despite being on the same route. Feels more like a race and I’m always amazed at the impressive times that are produced in these Hastings Runners races.
