140pts on the table. That’s big. But achieved mostly with easy runs this week as we’ve got a busy schedule of races coming up, so no need to be pushing too hard right now in terms of intensity. Keep building that aerobic base as that’s ultimately the key for a good marathon. Any problems let me know, but keep being a legend.

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

Great session with Team Orange, thanks
They are a decent bunch to run with. Proud of what Tuesdays have become now. Great running Michael.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

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.

60 minutes run done, strides done on Friday, no stair climber
Well done Michael. Lovely to run with you, those groups can be quite tough though and not always easy to keep it easy. Bonus pts for the hills though. I’ll put strides pts on here too.

Gym done Friday as hospital trip and work was much longer than anticipated, no stair climber
Well done Michael. It was a tad warm on the stairs yesterday so maybe not the worst thing you missed those.

Well done Michael. It’s a good option to have and not a bad idea to combine it with the strength workout.

Zone 2: Easy

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Keep that heart rate in Zone 2. You might feel like RPE is higher, as it’s a tough exercise, but a good opportunity to really improve your aerobic engine without the heavy impact of running.

Was on Josh watch duties today as he’s been sick due to chemo so couldn’t get out, did lots of work in the garden though which felt more hard work than the gym!
Really sorry to hear he’s feeling poorly. Hope he improves quickly. Gardening is possibly the most under rated form of S&C going. Jax wanted pts for mowing the grass the other week.

Zone 2: Easy

Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.

Good to get out early to miss the heat. Took me at least 3k to get into my stride then it was business as usual, getting it done! Stopped for a pee, water twice and gels, will improve this over time. Thoroughly enjoyed it though.
Fantastic. That’s some effort given the heat we’ve had this weekend. All part of the marathon training though. I’m doing quite a few Saturday long runs if that ever works, plus the Weald Challenge 7th June as an easy long run, Pier to Pier will probably be an easy run for me and the Amble when announced. Why am I telling you this? Would be nice to run one of these together if the opportunity arises.
