We don't know how it happened either…
We're back to race pace this week in our training sessions10k pace6 x 3 minutes with 2 minutes recovery5k pace4 x 5 minutes with 2.5 minutes recoveryTry to keep the pace in the intervals as close as you canHave at least a couple of days between sessions.
Right, it's time for this week's training sessions and we're looking at strides. Done properly, strides are a fantastic type of interval training and help learning how to really kick in a run and crank up the pace. Early on in my running journey I'd look up training plans and they'd loosely mention strides; i.e....
In my training plan for this week, I put intervals at a 10k pace... I wrote it a while back and it is doing wonders for my training ready for the York(shire) Marathon with less than a month to go. The trouble is I have no idea what my 10k pace is as it's not...
With club legend Jenny leading the way this week in our training sessions is all about press ups!

This week, focus in the training sessions is incorporating core exercises into your training.Just a suggestion as you will find what works for you.In the last 7 weeks of my marathon training Wednesday's are 4 miles with core exercises; some weeks I'll do this in the morning and run later, others I'll add them before,...

Exams this week in our training sessions! This week Laurence went for fancy lactate threshold tests and am sure he'd be happy to share his findings in the Facebook group. If you have a suitable garmin and a strap on heart rate monitor then you can do your own (Laurence also did it too to...
I had something else planned for this week's training sessions but then I saw one of Lorna's runs and just had to copy it (she said I could, honest)! Hard intervals this time in decreasing increments - both running and recovery. Warm up as usual by running for at least 5 minutes overall easy with...
In this week's training sessions, we're flipping the usual hill reps! Often people don't run confidently downhill or trash their quads so this session will improve your confidence and running form on the downhills! Pick a hill, or at least a consistent incline, and run about 10 minutes beforehand to warm up. Run up the...
