Some new stretches which many of the team have been using to great effect. Two really good sessions this week, especially Sunday to dial in that marathon pace for the very first time. Any issues just shout. But 140pts is pretty much where we want to be to run a 3:30 in the Autumn

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

I stretch almost every day and some of these stretches are already included, I can incorporate the rest on alternative days so as not to take up too much time. Good workout today, increased some weights so definitely progressing. Another sweaty stair climber though ๐Ÿฅต
Ah don’t worry too much then if stretching every day. I can leave these out. Glad you managed to find time to squeeze in the stairs and it’s a nice feeling when you start to increase those weights. I need to get myself on the racks for squats but don’t know how to do it yet so a little scared ๐Ÿ˜‚ Well done on a great session

Another TRC inspired running channel which apparently was the reason one of their presenters got their marathon time down from 3:40 to sub 3:00 ๐Ÿค” Hopefully it has the same effect for you.

Good session, good conditions, feeling good!
Love this feedback. It’s a good sesh that, pace looked great. Awesome work Michael

All done, nice quiet gym again, did a couple of super sets, one felt like a hiit session when I did plank-Romanian deadlifts-Ab Crunch-box step-up in one ๐Ÿฅต
Yikes, that is one hell of a superset. Explains how you got it done in 38 mins now. I do tend to put 2 together and know what you mean, planks and something else always proves challenging. Excellent work to get it all done though Michael.

A good session early in a marathon plan to practice running at goal pace. Each 5k block will get progressively harder in terms of a higher heart rate and RPE, pace should be the same throughout the 5k reps.

Really enjoyed that run, with the last 5k as Park Run, ran it with Christopher Fowler Felt really good
I do love these marathon paced sessions as it’s such a nice speed to run at. Glad you enjoyed it too and finishing with parkrun is perfect. Lots of these to look forward to in the next few months. Great splits as well. We know the pace is there!!

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.

10k done while away so 90 there Legs were very tired but got it done none the less
Well done Michael. Decent pace for that heart rate as well which shows the fitness is in a good place. A strong week banked. Really great job.
