Week Commencing: 1st September 2025

Plan 7 – Week 1

Exciting first week back on the plan with the Run N Rave on the Friday and Battle 10k to look forward too. Spin can always be replaced with another S&C workout or swim, although you’d need 2 x 45 min swims to match the effect of one high intensity spin workout. But there are always […]

Plan 2 – Week 5

I know what you are probably thinking looking at the schedule….where’s the rest of it? But it’s light for a reason, it’s a recovery week before we kick on with 3 big weeks of training (160pts). I know you had the holiday but you did quite a bit whilst away and I’ve had a couple […]

Plan 2 – Week 14

If you can run on holiday, awesome, but no pressure from me to do so. What about the Battle 10K Sunday? Unlikely to be a long run with so many doing that so perhaps it would be a good option. Obviously if you’re exhausted from your travelling take the week and start afresh the following […]

Plan 6 – Week 12

There’s some potential to mix things up here depending on your availability. You could join the Tuesday evening gang who are doing hills, probably not ideal for Sunday but I appreciate the enjoyment might be higher than running solo. 60 mins Wednesday evening would be fine too if you want to join the group, perhaps […]

Plan 1 – Week 8

It’s the Battle 10K on Sunday which we could swap for the Saturday session if you wanted to take part in that? Lots of options, so long as we keep things a little lighter this week. Keep going though Alison, you’re doing great, and work on those arms if you can as that will help […]

Plan 6 – Week 12

So if possible we want to try and push the pace a little on your long run this week. It’s the only time before Chester we get the chance to run that little bit quicker. So anywhere between 5:45 – 6:00 per km would be the target as that’s likely the pace you will want […]

Plan 8 – Week 5

Looks like a good week on paper with the 200s and the Battle 10K to look forward to. I should be there at track this week. As for Sunday, still early in the plan to be setting yourself targets, just go out and run a strong race and try to enjoy it. I seem to […]

Plan 1 – Week 18

Exciting week with the Great North Run to look forward to. Strava telling me your half PB is 2:07? I think is achievable Sunday and to do that you’d need to average 6:00 per km. I’d be inclined to suggest setting off around 5:50-6:00 and that should leave some in reserve for the 2nd half. […]

Plan 5 – Week 20

Let’s get a time in the diary where we can chat about the plan for South Coast Challenge. I think going into it knowing where and when you’re going to walk, how long you are going to spend at the aid stations etc, will really help. Let me know what works best for you and […]

Plan 2 – Week 5

I listened to your feedback from last week and replaced the 20 x 1 mins with another 10k session. Probably still sensible to give the ankle a bit more recovery time. Sunday’s sessions is the key one. Looks huge on paper, but really it’s 21km (a half) at a pace comfortable for you. When you […]

Plan 2 – Week 1

You’ve been averaging around 70 pts in recent weeks, so whilst this might look light, in terms of the demands it’s quite a challenging week and why I’ve held back the S&C until Week 2 of the plan. No pressure or targets for Battle 10k given you are still returning from injury so go there […]

Plan 1 – Week 9

An exciting week with the Battle 10k to look forward to on Sunday. I’ve taken out Tuesdays run now as you did quite a bit extra last week and I want you to be fresh for Sunday. I’ve made just a couple of tweaks with the S&C so any problems let me know. But you’re […]

Plan 2 – Week 18

It’s the Battle 10K Sunday if you wanted to do that instead of the half marathon session solo. Entirely up to you. Tuesday hills will be with the team, so plenty of good hill work already this week. If we did switch in Battle we could add in a 2nd S&C to hit the target […]

Plan 1 – Week 11

Sunday is the Battle 10K which a lot of the Team will be running and would be a very good replacement for the 15 x 1km session currently in the plan. So if you can make the race on Sunday I would highly recommend it.

Plan 5 – Week 1

Welcome back on the Team Ellie. Because we have the Battle 10K on Sunday I have dropped a run to leave you fresh for that given it’s a tough route. But I think getting back into good habits with the S&C will be important and the 10 minute sessions have worked really well for a […]

Plan 3 – Week 12

Relatively light week in the build up to Battle which should hopefully have you feeling fresh on the start line. Obviously the HYROX is the one thing that is a little of a concern, so perhaps keep any Friday gym work lighter ahead of the race. But confidence should be high, you’re running well, you’ve […]

Plan 2- Week 17

Light week with Sunday in mind. But good to get some hills into Thursday easy run. You should approach Sunday with a lot of confidence. It’s good to come into these races and now be competing with the really strong runners. Pacing is key and I’ll put out a detailed analysis of the route beforehand […]

Plan 3 – Week 17

Big week with the Battle 10k on the Sunday. Tuesday hills are good prep for that and if you can join the team in the evening to do those that would help. As for the race. I’m planning on doing it in around 48-49 minutes, that’s definitely within your comfort zone, so if you wanted […]
