There is the Spring 5K on Wednesday if you fancy that? We can easily fit that in. Monday I plan to do a session in the evening (I’ll be running too so a freebie) and will invite anyone who fancies joining. Would be a nice way to finish the bank holiday weekend. Any problems let me know, but another solid week on the cards. Keep up the great work Philippa.

Pace is the best thing to focus on here. You should be at the lower end or even under your 3k target here. A great chance to get some speed in the legs.

Not done – Bank Hol Monday family time. Hope you guys had fun.
No worries. I respect that. I don’t want the whole family to hate Coach Simon.

Home Legs Workout

Squats

3 x 15

Single Leg Deadlift

3 x 15

Calf Raises

3 x 30

Wall Sits

3 x 60s

Bent Knee Calf Raises

3 x 30

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

Done
Well done Philippa

I’m a big fan of consistent splits. With any race avoiding getting swept away with the crowds is key, so focus on that early pace and hold back, settle into a rhythm. Km 4 is often the hardest, so zone in on 4 and dig deep. You got this!

Nice to do. Such a good atmosphere. Bit of a crappy effort from me. Strong finish though! Speed seems unsustainable for me ๐Ÿ˜ฉ or it could have been the slice of fruit cake I had before I left the house. Anyhow, pain in right heel again and this was hurting towards the end.
Sorry to hear about the pain. We need to keep an eye on that. Let me know if it continues or doesn’t get any worse. Sometimes it’s all about being part of it. The time doesn’t really matter. I was 2 minutes slower than last year but think I enjoyed it a lot more. Great to have you there as always.

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

Started okay. Should have turned earlier so I could remain in the middle of the pack. As it was, I was at the very back most of the way back. Very hilly too. Ouch. Well done on your Brighton long run. ๐Ÿ‘
Well done Philippa. That is a tough route that one. Cottage Lane was where I did all my lockdown miles so know it well. Thank you. Was kinda fun. Just wanted something for my ยฃ60 entry fee. On a tough route like that turning a few mins early can make a big difference. Although when I’ve done that route I’ve known some to turn 5 mins early and we never see them again. So it’s a fine line. Bonus pts for all the hills
