Hopefully the legs are happy with you again now and you’re ready to kick on with a decent week. If you can’t make Tuesday, a quick parkrun Saturday would be an option. If you ever wanted to plug your gym routine into the dashboard let me know as I can now create a separate page for that which you can have access to and edit if you wanted. Keep up the great work Alice.

We were still in the midlands so this was just a 20 mins bodyweight session at home, but I got in done
Well done Alice. All about making the best out of the situation you are in. A good start to the week.

Really enjoyed that. It was such a good confidence boost. I found it tough but tried my best to stick with Lindsey. Really pleased with how well my fitness has maintained and excited to see what will happen once i’ve got a few more sessions under my belt. Hoping that the strength work i’ve been doing while injured and focusing on my weaknesses will really help with my speed.
So pleased you enjoyed that and was great to watch you all working so hard. Really helpful to have that focal point in Lindsey and keep as close as you can. Ideally if you can get to more of these if work allows then definitely try and take that opportunity. Especially if Lindsey is running too. Awesome work Alice.

Made it to the Horntye run. I’d popped to the gym at lunchtime so legs were quite heavy but good to be out with people. My HRV status hasn’t recovered since the ultra and still sitting in very low so keeping and eye on it and trying to get 2 rest days in.
Excellent work, a big day then with both sessions ticked off. Great work Alice. Yeah always good to keep a watchful eye on them, although unless wearing an external monitoring device I would always be wary of how accurate the watch data is.. Glad you were able to run with the group though as I know what a difference that can make.

60 Mins Swim

Put these together so I could get that extra rest day yesterday. Got some plyometrics in at the gym and a good swim session. Training readiness and HRV status is still low
Great work Alice. I think the low TR and HRV just highlights how demanding an Ultra or a marathon can be. But hopefully we’ve been smart enough with the plan and not pushed too hard that you are heading in the right direction. Any day you can bank over 30pts is a good one though.

90 Mins Run

I got to 60 mins and I felt ok but my calf was a bit funky the whole time and I felt that I was changing my form so I stopped. It’s so frustrating as things had felt much more enjoyable this week up till now but my calf has been a bit niggly since the ultra and I’m anxious about pulling it.
Sensible decision. It’s difficult to know how something like an Ultra will effect you so it’s definitely a time to be smart and keep it lighter if need be. I’m finding cross training is a godsend right now so perhaps if the legs stay tight for a bit you could chuck in a bit of cardio in the gym. Elliptical is pretty much 1:1 and a great alternative. Something I’m going to explore going forward as a way of trying to add more training pts to my schedule without running more. It clearly makes a big difference as I could only run for 10 mins last week before pain set in, but comfortable smash out 40 mins cross training with no pain at all.
