Week Commencing: 1st September 2025

Plan 1 – Week 11

Add the strides in again but keep them at 4 x 50m. It is the Battle 10k on Sunday. I just wanted to mention it in case you were considering it? From a training point of view we could fit in, but would need to be smart with the targets and not push too hard. […]

Plan 3 – Week 7

I love the Battle 10K, a great race. The best advice I can give is to go off slowly and conserve energy. If you go off too fast (I’ve done it in the past) the hills become even tougher. Hopefully Tuesdays session will give you some added confidence up the hills. But don’t worry if […]

Plan 1 – Week 8

Change up from the original plan and perhaps see how you feel Saturday in terms of parkrun. If you want to take it a little easier that’s fine, especially after runner Friday as well.

Plan 1 – Week 5

The hill session is what the team will be doing Tuesday evening, good prep for HHM. I’ve switched Battle out for another really good half marathon session. If you are away all weekend you could do that before hand if you wanted? Then do the easy run perhaps whilst in London 🤔 But another good […]

Plan 9 – Week 11

Lots to look forward to this week with the Rye 5k on the Friday evening. Given a lot of us will be at Battle on the Sunday, it’s possible you could incorporate that as your easy run and support one of the others. Running 70-75 mins and doing the extra WU & CD. That way […]

Plan 6 – Week 4

Recovery week, so not massive volume, but I have given you a little more than was on the plan. There is potential to tweak it a bit, let me know if you wanted a quick parkrun. It’s also the Battle 10K Sunday if you fancied that. Lots of the Team will be running.

Plan 1 – Week 12

Just 4 reps. Ignore the time, only 4 reps. You can definitely do 4 reps!! I’ve also tweaked the two strength sessions just to make them a little more challenging. You’ve smashed the plan to this point, keep being awesome, you be so proud of how you’ve done so far. 11 weeks down, 5 to […]

Plan 7 – Week 13

Split the S&C into 2 if you prefer. I like the Taper session, it’s worked well in the past and with the team doing hills I think it’s a better option. You could do parkrun Saturday morning if you’re up North already. It’s shame you’re not able to push as you hoped but in a […]

Plan 1 – Week 19

I’ve put in a couple of sessions whilst you are still away, so they are a bonus rather than a necessity. I’ve also added Battle 10k and surprised we didn’t have it in the plan. I think it’s a good prep race for Rye to Hastings and the HHM given the hills. You could approach […]

Plan 1 – Week 5

An exciting week with the Battle 10k on Sunday. If you can make Tuesday efforts with the Team that would be good practice on the hills. Keep the rest of the week light to save energy for race day. But your confidence should be growing now for a good performance on Sunday. If you want […]

Plan 7 – Week 12

Recovery week. There is scope to change things up if you wanted to do some 200s at track on Tuesday morning, but that really depends how the legs recovery from the big marathon session. Only do that if you feel fresh. We obviously want to save the legs for Sunday as well. But the 50 […]

Plan 5 – Week 14

End of the plan, which means a week off coming up. How exciting. If you can make the Tuesday evening hills session I think that will really help your mindset for the race on Sunday. Speaking on which, no targets, no pressure, but you’re running well, so confidence should be high. Just approach it to […]

Plan 4 – Week 9

I’ve added in Battle 10k. Well done Tuesday. There’s 3 sections to Battle. The downhill start, cruise. The uphill slog, dig deep but run at a conservative pace and then the flat and downhill finish when I would recommend then giving it a good go. If you use those tactics you should have an enjoyable […]

Plan 6 – Week 3

Shorter week with the holiday. You could switch Monday & Tuesday around if you want too. Tuesday AM track will be 200s and I hope to be there. But really hope you have a great time on your holiday.

Plan 5 – Week 8

A light week in the build up to Sunday. Tuesday’s session is with the Team but we could always tweak that if need be. Off road still an option given there won’t be many opportunities left to do that. We could always sneak another 30 mins easy in as well if need be. But hopefully […]

Plan 5 – Week 8

This week looks light on paper but that’s because the Half Marathon on Sunday accounts for 60% of the training points, so we want to keep the rest light in the hope you’ll be fresh come the start line. Tuesday morning a few of us will be at the track doing our 200s if you […]

Plan 2 – Week 11

All about Sunday’s race which is very exciting, so keeping it easy in the build up. 3 of the Team are travelling up so if you and Andy wanted to meet them we could try and arrange a pre race meet? In terms of Sunday, no pressure, just go out and enjoy it. Keeping that […]
