  • 20-26th April

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.

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

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.

9pts | 20 Mins Stairs

9 POINTS

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 20 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.

10pts | Gym Legs/Core L1

10 POINTS

A good all round session to work the legs and core. You should have built up to this fairly gradually, so don’t dive in head first as you want to take your time building your strength. Be sensible with the weights to begin with.

If short on time combine 2 exercises together (superset) them to save on the recoveries. Ideally one leg exercises and one core exercise where possible. Eg squats and planks.

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.

33pts | HM/Marathon 10km

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

5k @ Marathon Pace (RPE: 4)
5k @ Half Marathon Pace (RPE: 6)

2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

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.

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