Week Commencing: 18 May 26

Choose Day👇

Decent target here. Could potential add 20 mins more onto the long run if you wanted. But I’ve put some quicker work in there. AC track Tuesday an option as their session probably won’t be that dissimilar to the 30 mins I have set you. I know you mentioned Friday might be challenging to do both sessions, so let me know if that is an issue. Fingers crossed the calf continues to improve.

Didn’t manage the bike due to the rain and didn’t want to miss out on the cardio so I done 1hr elliptical instead of strength after work.
Yeah what has happened to the weather? 🤦‍♂️ Decent start to the week still and good to bank those cardio points. I’ve been doing more and more research on threshold training. I think you fit the profile as someone that would benefit from that approach. In the sense we don’t put too much demand on the body with the speed work very often, but we build a really strong engine with 1-2 threshold workouts a week. It’s a very different approach in you never really practice race pace but some people are getting very good results. Interesting to hear your opinion and whether you wanted to try it. I might give it a go myself but sprinkle in some race paced sessions as well.

Done easy hour first thing with Jamie Webb as I have treatment at lunch time and I thinkni will told to rest up after as im having more acupuncture I think.
No worries, makes sense. Sometimes I schedule these in quite early for the week ahead as I have lots to do, but if anything isn’t right, just drop me a message and we can change it up. Let me know how the treatment goes and what the advice is.

A decent trail run with Ellen trying to keep up around the Coombe valley area, leg had still been tender for the most part of the day but once I started running it did ease off and started to feel better towards the end fingers crossed the treatment has done the job this time. Im mot going to do the run tomorrow as dont wanna push my luck after the treatment I will hit the bike for a long one in the morning. Going to long run Saturday afternoon over the downs too.
That sounds fun, nice to be able to run with Ellen. You could always do extra Saturday morning as well if not running after the treatment.

Decent ride first thing then strength after work only managed 2 sets as had to get ready for the theatre, I think i definitely need to drop the strength on the friday and bring back the 4th run or xtrain that I can donit the morning or to and from work.
Decent day of training. That’s cool about the Friday’s, once we get a bit more settled with the routine and know the calf is back where we want it, we can get back on a better schedule. I hope the show was enjoyable?

100 Mins Run

30 POINTS

Done Saturday and what a run it was leg was good which is great went well over time and was quicker than I thought, was a great novelty trying to see Scott in as many places as I could had to stop to help a collapsed racer for a bit and to check I was going the right way on my cut throughs to get ahead of the racers. All I can say is there is still hope for the 30k 🤘 (Sitting in the garden at 6am with a coffee Sunday legs feel ok after yesterday’s battering over the downs they feel worked but good)
This is pretty huge right? 30k banked at a decent shift too, HR nice and stable. Wow. Wasn’t expecting this but so many positives to take. I’m excited now after seeing how well this went. Nice to be able to support your friend as well. I’m sure he was very grateful for that. And not to mention the collapsed runner, scary doing those sort of distances in that heat.
