Just a really good week. We’ve got the speed work the strength work, the easy run and some specific paced tempo work in the 2 x 5k ahead of Worthing next week. Lots of love about this schedule and 2 rest days as well. Training at a really good level right now. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Michael.

Rested up as planned!
I did panic briefly when I saw you coming down the steps but realise you are smarter than that.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Great session as hill reps force you to run with good form, lifting the knees higher and really driving the elbows back. Work hard for the 30 seconds uphill, recovery back down for 60 seconds.

Felt good today even after a half midnight work finish time Monday!
And so soon after Sunday as well, that’s a good turnout. Impressive stuff. Shows how good the fitness is right now. Well done Michael.

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Unfortunately due to family, home and work pressures I couldn’t get this done, its a tough time juggling things
Totally get that right now.

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.

Great session. If short on time superset a few exercises. Let’s do this ๐Ÿ’ช

My god the gym was busy this morning! Still managed to work around people though and get it done. Upstairs at the end on the stepper was pretty much empty though, probably 8 of us!
It’s strange how it works. But I always feel like I’m in my own bubble and no-one actually pays any attention. Great work on the stepper too. Love that machine.

A good session to mix up paces. WU & CD very important to slowly build the pace. A flat route is ideal here if you can.

Glorious day for a run, quiet out and not too much wind either! Felt good and enjoyed it too which is always a bonus! Managed to stay roughly around pace, only checking my warch as I hit each km
Awesome work. I love this session and use it a lot for the team. It’s good that you are well dialled in now to half marathon pace and don’t need to keep checking that watch. Awesome work Michael.

130 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

Pushing beyond that 2 hour barrier is a good mental win. Important to be fuelling and staying hydrated on these runs.

Interesting run, have learnt that I need to decide whether to just run or race early and not leave it until 30 minutes or so before the start. This really did impact my head and meant I wasn’t as prepared as I usually would be to run a HM. Oh well, it was still under 1:40 so I shouldn’t complain.
I think the good news is we were missing a few pts from earlier in the week and by going quicker you hit the target. The worry is, a week prior to Worthing, what knock on effect it will have on the time there. But you can only do you best this weekend, and it will still benefit you for the long term goal of Richmond. And as you said, another sub 100 min half, which has been common practice this Spring. So well done for that. Hope the weekend was a good one?
