Week Commencing: Oct 20-26

Plan 8 – Week 1

No need to push too hard right now, in either the efforts or the parkrun. Just glad you’re still running and we’ll get you back in decent shape for the Spring races.

Plan 3 – Week 1

New plan which will follow a similar routine most weeks. Tuesday track. Easy run during the week, 2 x S&C, parkrun (sometimes easy) and a Sunday long run or half/marathon session. Come the end of the plan if you complete 90% + of the sessions I think you’ll achieve the goals you’ve set out. But […]

Plan 7 – Week 1

The new plan is online, scroll down and you’ll see the new assessment page. Any questions just ask. As for Saturday. Well it’s a day out right. Those hills are such that you’ll be forced to walk most of them. Take as long as you want, enjoy it, nothing to prove. Took me nearly 2 […]

Plan 5 – Week 1

The new plan is online (also a new assessment, scroll down the dashboard for both of those). This week is a good representation of what the schedule will be like. 3 runs, 2 S&C. Hopefully not too demanding and the more sessions you can complete the better your fitness will be come the end of […]

Plan 2 – Week 12

Timely recovery week after the Maidstone Half. Because that was added late the plan is probably a bit too heavy early in the week. I would take it day by day and see how you feel. But you don’t want to be hammering a massive session Tuesday if the legs are still battered. We’ve got […]

Plan 3 – Week 2

A solid week and hopefully all is well and can get back on track. Tuesday should be fun with the team, Wednesday with the club and I hope to lead a long run on the Sunday all being well. Any problems let me know. Let’s make this a great week.

Plan 7 – Week 1

Sunday, if attempting the 50k, is something we just need to respect, hence the light week in the build up. If the plan changes let me know, but the first few weeks of this plan are about being patient and then the training picks up in a bid to have you peaking for the race […]

Plan 2 – Week 2

All about keeping that consistency. Hopefully the illness is gone now so you feel much better. Tuesday is a favourite session of mine and a chance to really push the pace and run with great form. Then an additional 10 mins for Sunday to keep making those small gains. Any problems let me know but […]

Plan 7 – Week 3

Another consistent week. I think the fitness is still there from the previous plan so I’m not too worried about pushing hard. We’ve got a 3 hour run in the plan in a few weeks time and that will set you up nicely for Goodwood.

Plan 8 – Week 12

So we’ve come to the end of this plan. I’m not sure on your race plans going forward, let me know. I’ve put a 10k session on Saturday morning with the idea you can combine it with parkrun and it’s good pacing practice if you are doing Beckley, albeit that’s a hilly one. No worries […]

Plan 2 – Week 12

Easing back post half, but with the marathon only 6 weeks ago some decent mileage on tired legs will actually be good training. I’d be wary of footy this week as well, especially if it’s Tuesday as your muscles could still be damaged from the race.

Plan 2 – Week 8

Recovery week. Yippe. But still two good sessions. Nice bit of variety Saturday and still get some decent mileage in with that session. Any problems let me know. I’ve put ASPT in this week instead of the shorter sessions.

Plan 1 – Week 1

I hate all these easy runs as the joy for me is trying to allocate the right sessions in the right weeks for everyone of my runners. But it’s also important we don’t dive straight in head first and crash. If you are in town and wanted to do a Tuesday session at AC that […]

Plan 2 – Week 2

A decent week. Hopefully everything is achievable. Really hope you can make the group run on Tuesday evening as that’s a fun session to do with the team. If not let me know as we’ll probably switch it up for the treadmill. You’re going along great guns and doing really well with the gym stuff […]

Plan 4 – Week 2

Another slightly lighter week before we jump into full mode for Sevilla. I’ve put some marathon paced miles in for Sunday. Basically you could do this with the Sunday crew. 10 mins WU & CD before hitting that sub 5 mins per km pace. Any problems let me know. Wednesday evening an option if you […]

Plan 1 – Week 5

A strong week. Tuesday’s session is with the Frostbite and Wilmslow in mind to try and find that 10k pace & RPE. So it shouldn’t feel all out in the early reps. Come the last 2-3 that’s when you’re working hard, much like a 10k race. Then we ease back for the rest of the […]

Plan 1 – Week 5

Sunday worries me a bit. I know you plan to keep it easy but it’s a real git of a marathon. So I just want to be a bit cautious, especially this week. We can always see how the legs feel next week in terms of if you need any recovery. Hopefully not if you […]
