We are starting to get back into those long runs again which is exciting. Tuesday is a bit of an odd session for an ultra runner so my advice is just keep it consistent and don’t push too hard. It would be silly picking up an injury doing 1 minute reps when training for a 50k race. But it’s still very beneficial. Keep up the great work Anna, any problems let me know.

This can definitely be tweaked as the plan goes on. We are neglecting the upper body which is something we might want to work on at some stage too.

Almost unbearable in boringness, but I did it! (On weds)
πŸ˜‚ Find yourself a podcast or some music to listen to whilst you do it. Well done though Anna.

A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.

First rep was hard as my lungs clearly hadn’t warmed up enough, but after that it was great! (/hideous-lol!!) Always a great session, xx
Great session Anna. So many good things happened with the body that would otherwise be neglected just by running easy trails. So this is great for you and I love that you enjoy them too. Lots of hills sessions coming as we prep for HHM.

Zone 2: Easy

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

I did this on Wednesday as I have a busy few days coming up. I took it really easy because of the session with team orange yesterday… and interestingly I could really feel that I needed to go gently, and that my body wasn’t really ready. Luckily I ran so gently it was fine, but I won’t run on a weds again after a Tues session!
Well done Anna, no worries about the switch, but you make a good point and highlights why the rest day can help.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Done on Friday! Slow going due to terrain, but fun! Also, evenings are already getting lighter! 🌞🌱🌱
Even a few mins per day makes a big difference right? Roll on the lighter evenings. Great work Anna.

Time to make sure your fuelling and hydration is on point. 30-60g of carbs per hour. The longer the run goes on the tougher it will get.

Done on Sat. Great run! I finally finished listening to a story that was never quite engaging enough, and then spent most of the run really hooked on a new one! Lovely route, muddy but fun. A slow half marathon, but still good to get that distance again on muddy, hilly terrain.
Great job Anna. Yeah 3 hours can feel like a slow HM, but then you need to remind yourself the difference that muddy hill trails make, and actually it’s a decent amount of ground to cover when you factor that in too. Glad the new story was more engaging that the last. I’m reading a book like that at the moment and finding it hard to get into each night and counting down the pages until I can pick up a new one.
