Week Commencing: 23 MAR 26

Choose Day👇

A lighter week post HHM and only do Tuesday’s speed session if the legs have recovered. With the Spring 5K coming up, another quick parkrun will set you up nicely for that. Any issues let me know, but definitely a week to be easing off a touch after the busy schedule of late.

Done the 15 exercises, forgot how hard dead bugs and flutter kicks are having not done them in a while! But, surely 15 exercises is 15 points, not 12….
They are tough. Good question about the pts. I tweaked it because certain exercises are far more beneficial for us as runners than others. For example a bicep curl compared to a goblet squat. No way they are both worth 1pt. So core exercises and arm exercises have dropped in pts. There are a few compound exercises like Farmers Walk and plank which are still worth a point given they are working so many muscles. I’m still learning and evolving but think this is an important change going forward to get the best out our time in the gym, as runners.

Great morning for a run, bumped into a guy that does the SLR, Colin Nelson. Was a pleasure to run 10 minutes with him.
Ah that’s nice. Yeah I like Colin, he comes to track quite a lot as well. Always good when you bump into someone like that unplanned.

Half Marathon

66 POINTS

Lydd half marathon Second best half, was definitely on for a sub 1.35 but I think the past few weeks led me to tire shortly after 10 miles. Some good signs there though with my prediction for a marathon dropping 5 minutes to sub 3.40, a bit more work to do for September!
Fantastic running yet again. My pace sheet tells a slightly differently story. 1:36 half = 3:32 marathon 🤔 although to be fair it does also say 20:15 5K 😂 But either way you’re running great right now and it’s so pleasing to see. Awesome work Michael
