Pushing the pts a bit here based on recent weeks, so see how the calf feels. We could potentially lose the 2nd S&C or a few mins off one of the easy runs. Tuesday AC track also an option I like if you can hold back the pace a little. Let me know if you did fancy that this week. But so far the feedback on the threshold sessions has been good so keen to roll with it for a bit and see what happens.

You’ll likely need to push the pace a little just to get the heart rate into Zone 1, so don’t be fooled into thinking this will be an easy bike ride.

Decent ride first thing slightly different route to normal which was good. Strength work after work leg felt ok today which I was surprising as it was pretty pissed at me after yesterday’s session hopefully things are still repairing and getting strong at the same time.
Great start to the week and great news that the leg took yesterdays session well as that was a real test and suggests you are on the mend.

Focus on pace for that first rep whilst the HR climbs and then settle into sub LT2 for the final 3 reps, don’t fool into the trap of going over.

3x 6min lt2 3x 3min still lt2 well was gonna be a bit quicker but the legs wernt having any of it i think sunday and Monday was taking effect its the first time in ages i have felt that fatigue build up. Leg seamed ok while running it was a tad annoying on cool down but seams ok atm Wednesday morning.
Quality work Steve. Can you remind me of your LT2 Heart Rate, was looking at the data but without knowing what it was I doesn’t really mean much. Around 160? But looks like a decent session. I don’t think it matters if you don’t go quicker in the shorter reps, so long as the HR is in the right place. That’s the beauty of threshold training. On days when you’re tired in holds you back from pushing too hard. If they are being told to run a threshold session to pace, that’s just not right, they are then guessing the intensity and I would imagine most likely running over their LT2.

Not a bad day had a driving experience around brands hatch which was ok, although the traffic getting there and home was crap.
I imagine having sped round Brands Hatch the traffic home would have been even more infuriating. Sounds fun though. Week off work?

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Got out early for this as got a load of sorting to do later for the camping trip. Im not gonna be able to so strenght tomorrow as im not home but will try and do some hills on the bike to get some strenght work done that way once im in alfriston. Leg was pretty crap this morning unfortunately but managed to get it done ok.
Sorry to hear about the leg. Be a bit careful with it as we’ve come off those big two sessions Sunday/Tuesday. Finding that balance is a challenge. Well done though for getting out, I hope the weather at the weekend behaves itself for the trip.

Give the HR 5 mins or so to increase to just below LT2 then just hold it there, drop the pace if you do hit threshold.

Not a bad effort at park run to start the day weather was horrendous but got it done. Followed that up with a 12mile hike in the afternoon with a couple of hills in we done the pilgrims way from alfriston it was a good route
Love the fact you bagged the win, by 2 mins, doing a threshold run. So good πŸ˜‚

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

What a run that was well over on time but kept the effort nice and easy apart from the final decent plenty of hills for that all important strength building. It has been one hell of a training weekend with a total of about 60miles covered in 3 days including the bike and hiking. Im definitely ready for a rest day 😴
That was some weekend, impressive stuff, but still not a huge week in terms of pts, so as long as the calf was happy that’s all good. Banking some decent pts will only help in the long run. Great work Steve.
