New Years Day parkrun??? If not we could switch that to Saturday. Tuesday is a tough session but if you run it at your own pace then it’s a good one, and big gains to be made. Any problems let me know. Happy New Year Lou!!
Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.
Focus on effort level rather than pace or heart rate as both will fluctuate depending if you are going up or down the hill
Lovely to be doing a Tuesday team efforts again. Highlight of my week every time and I felt super afterwards, as I always do. The focus was on just doing it, not doing it too fast, as I had a wheezy chest, but Tuesday achieved ✅
Great work Lou and congrats on doing more sessions than anyone else in 2025. That’s a fantastic achievement. That’s always a nice session to do with the group, tough but rewarding. Coach Simon 🍊
Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
Too late to bed on NYE for NY Park Run 🫢but made up for it on Friday instead. Had a lovely one hour Bimble with some of the team. It was great to be out and I’m pleased I was motivated. It felt really challenging for a Bimble, like I was being pulled backwards, and it was genuinely only a bimble. I think I’ve still got left overs from having a bad chest and cough over Christmas. I am determined I’ll get fitter again the rest of January 😊
Well done Lou. Glad you were able to get out with friends. Important to ease yourself back into it when you have been poorly Coach Simon 🍊
