We will ease into this plan a little. Track sessions are getting a little bit tougher as we get closer to the HHM. Tuesday will be the same session as Monday this week if you cannot make track. The long run this week is a rather generous 80 minutes. Any problems let me know. There is a new assessment on the dashboard for training plan number 7. Keep up the great work Philippa.

Forgot to add weights. Can you recommend any exercises to help with balance? (I wobble all over the place doing the leg deadlifts)
Well done Philippa. It’s a tricky one that deadlift isn’t it. Just some single leg stands are a simple but effective way to improve your balance. Anytime you find yourself standing still (waiting for the kettle to boil, brushing your teeth, try standing on one leg). It was also help with the running as that is a single leg activity.

Bit slippy out there! Enjoyed that though – another beautiful morning on the seafront. Pace okay and I tried out my new shoes! 😊 I couldn’t make last nights session so felt this could make up for it.
Really impressed you got out there and managed to get this done. It was noticed that you were absent last night. Awesome work Philippa.

Bad weather! I’m not going out in that! So I stayed in and did Core instead. 😉
I get it, we run for fun after all. We all have our limits. Well done for getting the core session done.

60 Mins & Strides

Nope – not done.
We’ve rolled straight into a new plan from the last one, so I think cut yourself some slack, missing a few runs at this stage is ok, to give yourself that extra rest. Plus, whilst I’ve yet to reach Sunday’s feedback, I feel like you made up for most of it with the long run 💪

80 Mins Run

24 POINTS

Looong run to make up for missing 60mins & strides. Tbh – feeling pleased with today’s effort but also feeling a bit ouchy. Legs and feet took a beating today. Right heel still niggly and just below left knee. Last 2 miles were very hard. I haven’t run this kind of distance for years….Since my last 1/2 which was probably 2022 / 3 ish.
Wowzers. Amazing run Philippa. Hopefully the aches and pains do go. It’s not unusual to feel that way. In the past when I’ve done my long runs and then sat on the sofa for a few hours the legs simply stop working and walking is hard work. But our bodies are great at recovery and repairing themselves so we come back stronger.
