  • November 24th - 30th

I’ve stuck with the plan but appreciate it might be interrupted this week whilst you are away. I have tried to set sessions which are suitable for being away. For example changing 20×1 mins with 60 mins for easy(ish) hills. Let me know if you need to move anything around. Sending my best wishes to your dad and the whole family πŸ§‘πŸ–€

110 Points Target
116 Points Achieved

The week has been a different one, and adapted to suit the time available, but all there I think. Trying to be there for Mum, Dad, Mike and dogs, cook most evenings and work and not be selfish and head out for a run πŸ˜ƒ, I did it! More running than previous weeks, had not been detrimental, so for now mixing things up and still pushing for better ( within reason) is ok. I have actually enjoyed this week too, the different runs and times. 😊 ( I’m not done yet 🀞😜)

Given everything you had going on this week that is some achievement to hit the targets. Really pleasing to hear you are enjoying it too as that should always be the priority. Well done Su. Enjoy your rest week.

Rest Day

0 POINTS

0 mins @ RPE 0-1

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

5 Points
As we said, routine is all changed and work day broken up with 2 slow dog walks with Dad, so a faster walk at 6 am to start the day. And a 14 min S&C before they arrive for dinner, easier to fit 4 short sessions than one longer one.
Well done Su. Good to squeeze stuff in. I appreciate this week was always going to be up in the air slightly with the training.

60 Mins Easy (Hills)

24 POINTS

60 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2-5)

60 mins on the flat is quite different to 60 mins on the hills. So it’s important to differentiate between the two and if you do a hilly easy run, to account for that extra training load and how it might impact the rest of your week.

24 Points
An early morning frosty 🌟lit run with Basil. I actually quite enjoyed this, apart from the steamy glasses. And the evening is now free again to be with Mum and Dad. πŸ₯° win win.
Fantastic work. So much respect for getting up and going out for a run in the dark. I bet Basil must love it too πŸ§‘πŸ–€ Well done Su, have a lovely evening.

4×15 min sessions now complete with 1xarms, core and legs in each and 4 reps, hope to add 2 more before the week is out.
Love how committed you are to your fitness. Always finding the time, wherever you are. It’s great to see. No wonder your boys are so determined. Well done Su.

60 Mins & Strides πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

22 POINTS

60 Mins @ Easy Pace RPE: 3
8 x 100m Strides RPE: 8 (60s)

Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

Thursday Bimble complete, wet and drizzly run with πŸ•β€πŸ¦Ί, finding the odd streetlight πŸ˜€. No strides, bit difficult with πŸ•β€πŸ¦Ί
Always so impressed when I start doing my feedback for this day and so many of the team have already been out and completed their sessions. Great work Su. No worries about the strides, totally understandable.

I rested. Just dog walks and a power cut.
Oh that makes sense now about getting the WI-FI in the village. There was me thinking you’re parents lived completely off the grid πŸ˜‚

parkrun

30 POINTS

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
8 x 100 metre Strides (RPE: 8)

parkrun @ 5km Pace (RPE: 8)

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Pushed it a bit with rest week coming and pleased with the time, joints surprisingly good. So we’ll keep going with a plan and I’ll let you know when my body says no more. If only I could keep to the pace of my first mile! Bang on 5K pace by the end! CD included 5 slow, steady strides. Then the cold got to me.
Great to see you’re still running really well. My own injury has really opened my eyes to how much the impact of running effects our joints. And also the benefit of using cross training. Personally my advice to you would be to stop running anything more than 60 mins from this point onwards. Claire T has done that the past 10 years and been the best female runner in the club. Yes you miss out on some of the longer stuff but if it gives you an extra 2-3, even longer, more years on your running it has to be worth it. Knocking a few seconds off your parkrun time could still be a goal, crikey I still think you could even gun for a PB running twice a week, if we get the cross training right and how amazing would that be? Ultimately it’s your decision but as a coach (and friend) that would be my advice. 2 runs, heavily supported by cross training and strength work, to protect your joints and extend your running career. The runs which would be the best would be track, parkrun and the bimble, but even the latter (especially if hilly) might be worth limiting to twice a month. Have a word with hubby, or the bimblers see what they think, but smashing out half marathons and beyond could ruin your body long term, and you’re still pretty young to be fair. No hurry to make a decision and I will support you in whatever you decide, but I’d really lean towards easing back on the running and adding more swimming, spin and strength stuff to you routine.

80 Mins

24 POINTS

80 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

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.

1hr 20/30 walk running, looping back for Mike walking πŸ•β€πŸ¦Ί, didn’t work too well with πŸ•β€πŸ¦Ί on lead as he stops or pulls to try and keep us together! Once off lead up the valley it worked better. Then 1.6 miles walk/ jogging ( where I try to keep up with Mike walking) Home just before the rain! Just digesting yesterdays feedback and will feedback in weekly feedback. 😊
Sorry I threw a lot at you yesterday. Just want to keep you running and reduce the damage as much as possible. Well done for this session. Finding a way to get it done whilst away is great. Well done Su
