Choose Day👇

A recovery week so we drop right back off the mileage but a chance to do a couple of good workouts. Tuesday should have the same as Sarah and then the chance to smash out another quick parkrun. Wake up those fast twitch muscle fibres which will be needed late on in Paris. So it’s good to keep them busy. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Andy.

Moved things around a bit. Had a bit of a sore knee Monday/Tuesday, the other – usually fine knee. So did pilates tonight instead. No issues and low impact was good for legs
Good idea. Hope the knee recovers quickly. Sometimes knee pain can be a symptom of another issue like tight hips. So extra stretching can help.

Very tough session but super proud of my efforts in this. Was a bit scared going into it but actually found my legs started working really well after the warm up. Hit all my targets, apart from the last 8 mins where I faded slightly and was fractionally slow ( you’re right – it does feel like hell at the end!) But think the pace is starting to come back and feeling fitter so very happy with this evening ☺️ Knee felt fine also 👍
Huge!! Having watched my track runners attempt this on Monday I know how demanding it is. So big respect for digging deep. Don’t worry too much about the pace dipping slightly at the end. That’s inevitable in a session like this. So long as the RPE is still high that is what matters the most. Great to hear the knee is ok and you are feeling strong again. Awesome work Andy.

40 Mins & Strides

Legs felt tired today after last night. But enjoyed run club and got my 40mins in. Didn’t think id have the pace for strides , but pleasantly surprised to be at/under target paces for these 😊
Great work Andy, especially after yesterday. We are in the point of the plan where days will feel tough. It’s marathon training. Sometimes just embracing that can be the best approach rather than seeing it as a bad thing. If it were easy, everyone would do it right? Thanks for doing the strides.

My circuits class got cancelled late on Friday which was a shame. To compensate i ran parkrun at a higher effort but still controlled. Did a 30mins pilates later on in the afternoon too
I hope you get your money back? Good to rethink the plan though and adjust to make up for though missing points.

140 Mins Run

42 POINTS

Trail 1/2 marathon today. Extremely tough, cold conditions with the wind battering us, challenging terrain also. But did it and pleased with the efforts, Sarah did brilliant! Definitely the toughest half ive done to date.
One of those runs to make you mentally and physically stronger. I think that’s why races are a good part of training as far more likely to keep going and working hard in a race environment. I agree, I really feel like Sarah has stepped up in recent weeks, well you both have in truth so you should be proud of each other. Keep up the great work. Some bonus points for the extra time on feet 💪
