A recovery week so only 100pts needed. If you did long run Saturday track is an option and that’s worth a few more points than the Tuesday session I have set so could knock off 20 mins of running later in the week if need be. But any problems let me know. I have tweaked the original plan as that had too much of a speed emphasis in it which isn’t right for you at this moment in time. Keep up the great work Rebecca.

Tough session this and the idea is to try and keep those 8 minute reps consistently at 5k pace. The first one will feel comfortable, but the last one will feel like hell. The middle part of the session is to inject some speed in the legs and induce fatigue and possibly some lactic, so you have to work hard in that final rep.

Was tough but enjoyed that session. Apart from the first rep where I was finding my feet, all were there or thereabouts on pace.
Well done Rebecca. Apologies for the name mishap. I can’t believe the one name error I make was one of my own runners. In my defence I think it happened during the rep I was also timing ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Good news, that’s the toughest track session we do for probably 6 months as we start to focus a bit more on 10k pace and then half marathon pace ahead of HHM. So really well done.

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.

All done, with the exception of the bicep curls (using 6kg instead of 8kg) all as per plan. Routine feels okay.
Great work Rebecca. If and when (it’s likely) I do change the S&C, I’d be interested to hear your feedback. It might not be for a few more weeks yet, but it’s something I’m looking to do as my S&C knowledge improves.

Zone 2: Easy

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 around Fairlight. Very hilly (of course) and very muddy and slippery but enjoyed it. Thinking Iโ€™ll tie my Saturday easy run into Parkrunโ€ฆ I think I only need to do 79 mins to make my 100 points total for this week?? Will feed back on S&c as itโ€™s not feeling that difficultโ€ฆ is it worth not stacking them to see if they feel tougher??
Nice, good to get some hills and mud in there to add to the challenge. Becoming a proper trail runner now. Still worth hitting the 90 if you can, some bonus points in the bank might come in useful later on. Yes super setting exercise can make S&C a bit more challenging too. So doing another set when otherwise you would be recovering. But we can chat more if need be.

Great work Rebecca. Consistency is key. Sometimes it feels like we should be doing more of something different but honesty those benefitting the most from S&C have been rigid with their routines and just kept doing it. It’s why I like to keep it simple. Enjoy the long run tomorrow. Jax will be down there, she’s doing an hour actually if you wanted some extra company for 30 mins pre parkrun? I’m off to the gym as ran this morning doing a 1-2-1.

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

90 ish minutes done. No issues. The 60 minute loop took a bit longer but just made park run start.
Quick as well right? Strava pace looked a bit tasty. Glad you made parkrun in start. It can really help break up a long run. Well done Rebecca.

No button for weekly feedback – doing it here. Enjoyed my recovery week. I’m happy with progress and just trusting the process! Next week schedule looks fine. Have a good weekend!
Thanks for pointing that out, well get it sorted!! I had too many runners filling out the wrong “weekly feedback” so I removed it for the current week, but keep forgetting to add it back, so thanks for letting me know.
