Quality 10k session. These are the runs where the magic happens.
A little concerned about Sunday’s S&C off the back of two longer runs, so see how you feel Sunday. Tuesday AM session is the same as track Monday so could swap depending which day you ran at the weekend. Those back to back runs are a great way to get used to running on tired legs and have worked a treat for all the ultra runners on the team so far. Keep up the great work Rebecca.
not much else to add – load feels about right. Feel okay after yesterday’s and today’s back to back run – both were in tough conditions but good mileage/time on my feet. I’ll keep plodding along and trusting the process!
BTW Tuesday I did S&c so should new fewest points than it’s currently showing!
Well done Rebecca. Another strong week and a decent pts target banked. Thanks for pointing out Tuesday. I often just write the wrong thing and then up confusing myself at the end of the week. If you keep hitting the targets then come the end of the plan, you should be ready to go on race day. If not, just blame me 😂

*Need to do the reps on both legs (double the amount)
**2 sets of dumbbells, one in each hand.
You can superset two exercises together. I’ve tried to set it up like that. So you would do 15 reps of deadlifts, straight into 10 reps of Tricep Dips, and then repeat 3 times. Helps save on recoveries and can make the session shorter. It’s not essential, but an option.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.
