A good mixture of sessions this week with lots of cross training but two good runs, including the chance to push the limits at parkrun on Saturday. Obviously if you need to make any tweaks, let me know. But this looks another strong week, with a good all round balance of a busy routine but not pushing too hard. Keep up the great work Su.

Definitely need to change what you are doing based on my research. Often and little is the key to help you. The more you do this at home, the better.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

Stretchesβœ…, no ASPT or weights. Will make it up in the week. Addendum: 30 mins weights, arms and legs first thing Tuesday morning, as Basil wouldn’t walk in the storm.
I had to look up addendum, I had no idea what it meant πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜‚ Well done on adding in the extra. You can get a lot done in 30 mins at home.

I’m a big fan of consistent splits. With any race avoiding getting swept away with the crowds is key, so focus on that early pace and hold back, settle into a rhythm. Km 4 is often the hardest, so zone in on 4 and dig deep. You got this!

WU, 5k. Effort (30min) and CD on treadmill. Hardest part was post shower, still dripping !
Really impressed you put that effort in and got it done. Decent time as well. I’m always really slow on the treadmill, so have extra respect for that. Awesome work Su

Control what you can. The warm up, strides, getting the early pace right and staying positive when it gets tough. You got this!!

10k OOTB πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯, no warm up or cool down. Tough but enjoyable with Klare and Sue A.
Well done Su. I think the RPE and HR reflect you worked hard here which was just what we wanted. Glad you enjoyed it.

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.

Arms and stretches done this evening, as I plan to open swim at rye on Sunday.
Well done Su!!!

“Easy means Easy! Not 5k pace, not 10k pace, not even marathon pace. Easy pace!! πŸ˜‰”

Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.

Thank you.

Parkrun, easy, but made difficult by the heat, but just plodded on. I did a 1.3 mile warm up, to catch some points back from no warm up Thursday. Now for some catch up gardening. Why do we go on holidays πŸ€”.
Great work Su, some decent pts banked today. HR and RPE align nicely and pace will always be massively effected my the heat so we can ignore that today.

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

The pool at rye was amazing, warm and a delightful swim. 3 laps of 750 m So about a mile and a half. In 1hr28.
Sounds amazing. HR in Zone 1 as well which is good. 18pts banked to cap off a really good week. Not many achieving so many pts this week. Great stuff Su.
