I’ve tweaked the schedule based on you’re info. 130pts is a really good level to be working at. Be careful on Wednesday though as we know the 90 mins + last time did cause you some issues. Merry Christmas Kelly 🎄

130 Points Achieved

So this week I was super excited to achieve my first 1000 miles running in a year! This has only been my third full year of running so I was pretty pleased to have achieved this. I was so close on the monday.3 off so that was my aim this week.
Second aim was getting my points without Christmas taking over and pleased to have ticked that off too.

I have one grievance though coach, I didn’t get a star last week 😞 I’ve nailed either 99% or 100% every week so far on this plan. Something I’ve definitely not done before but I’m proper determined!

Another great week. Well done Kelly. You should be proud of that achievement of hitting 1000 miles. Another strong week too. Going great guns right now. The star is only credited on that 5th week. Then when you hit your 10th week in a row you’ll get 2 stars next to your name. So just a way of highlighting the milestones rather than it always being there. Plus you in a with a good chance of being one of the first to reach 10 weeks in a row. Michelle and Lou W, both on track, no coincidence they both had excellent PBs yesterday.

Annoyed I couldn’t make track but was determined to get the session done. I know I’m getting better because normally 2 minutes I finish by my close but for the reps tonight I passed every time and it’s the bloody uphill that time so was pretty pleased with that.

I love those little wins. It can make such a big difference and your right to set yourself that little challenge. Also just not making excuses which is brilliant and finding ways and the time to get it done right now. All being well with injuries and what not, the way you’re going I think you should be very excited about 2026 from a fitness perspective. Great work Kelly.

Cracked this out at home in between cleaning kitchen cupboards (workout in itself if you ask me!) glutes a bit niggly from yesterday but I just took it a bit slower

Great work Kelly. Living the dream, S&C and cleaning kitchen cupboards, doesn’t get any better right? 😂15

I just found it really cold today, the wind was brutal and my hands were frozen. I was ok until about mile 9 then I struggled. The pain in my.glufes really kicked in, especially on the hills. I could’ve gone a bit quicker too be fair but poor Luc was really struggling at the end, especially with the cold. But showed me therea still work to be done to get to that fitness for longer runs. Think I should probably stick to the 90 minutes for a bit longer

This run was always a concern for me given the glutes struggled last time. And I tend to agree we don’t need to go above 90 mins just yet. If you keep doing those right exercises in the gym like the hip thrusts and the deadlifts then you are going to build up the strength in the glutes and hopefully that will make the difference long term. The amount we can deadlift and hip thrust will tell us how strong those glutes are. I’m currently up to 20kg and 30kg which is pretty pathetic to be honest and highlights my weakness there. But if we are patient and keep getting stronger then we can add the extra time on later. Good to be part of the group though and job done in terms of earning those points, so still lots of positives to take. Well done Kelly.

Jeez I found that hard today, I’m definitely still suffering from the Christmas Eve half and a lot of over indulgence! I’m not gonna lie, seeing Ashley and Jess there also made me super competitive and I pushed way more than I should have 😅😅. Gotta remember that are a lot younger than me! But it was good. Just what I needed. The glute issue made me struggle with some of the exercises but also showed me what I need to work on

Somedays are like that, and remember try not to be competitive against anyone else, other than yourself. You’re doing great right now and for the first time starting to see some real improvements with the glute and other issues. Going forward there will also be less of those long runs, so that should help with recovery. Another big session smashed out though, really well done Kelly.

SUNDAY

18 Points

Found that really tough today. Had really stiff lower calf pain felt super tight and I ended up getting numb feet again which I haven’t had in a long time. That coupled with feeling blurgh from way too much overindulgence yesterday made that a far from enjoyable run! But another 18 points clocked up.

This made me chuckle. Like a long list of all these aches and pains, feeling hungover, hating every minute, questioning your life choices, hating running…..but then finishing with the positive…..I got my 18 points. though. And ultimately that’s what matters the most right? Hopefully your next run will be more enjoyable. Great work Kelly.
