We don't know how it happened either…
You might have wondered when this would come up in the Training Sessions but here we are.Tick off that Bingo Square with a Jeffing Run!How do you start with the Run Walk method? No problem, either look at John Ghent's posts (in pretty much every group he's in across the internet) or have a Google...
This week's Training SessionsBack to two equal blocks of efforts based on your current level but further this time than last. Aiming for tempo so go hard but keep some juice in the tank. You might want to run to heart rate, just how it feels or use a breath-to-stride method.For example I'm going for...
This week's Training Sessions and we're returning to intervals at race effort/pace but longer increasing distances this time.Run to effort above comfortable, by pace at least the pace of your target race, or by heart rate to tempo.As always ease into the pace and without an abrupt start or stop.Warm up3 X 500m effort with...
After three harder weeks, we're back to focusing on being relaxed on our runs this week.If you haven't been doing the runs, want a workout and are stuck for ideas check out the previous sessions from the tag Training SessionsIf you haven't listened to it go back to the Tim Bransdon episode (EP 351), yes...
You asked for it* and this week in the Training Sessions is fartlek.I'm sure most of you know what it is but people do it differently so I'll spell it out.Fartlek is an unstructured speed session. Warm up then pick a point ahead of you, say the third lamppost, a tree, the end of the...
This week's Training Sessions!Intervals at race effort/pace.Run to effort above comfortable, by pace at least the pace of your target race, or by heart rate to tempo.Really important thing is to ease into the pace and do it without an abrupt start or stop (thinking of you John Ghent re the chat in the poddy...
Right, let's get down to it. Three weeks coming up of some efforts in our Training SessionsNice and simple this week; two equal blocks of efforts based on your current level. Aiming for tempo so go hard but keep some juice in the tank. You might want to run to heart rate, just how it...
Something different for this week's training session!On your runs this week, focus on being relaxed.Try to be springy in your steps, if you feel yourself striking the ground, or your footsteps are loud, then try to tread more lightly.If bits of your body feel in tension imagine breathing into them and as you breathe out...
A simple progression/progressive run!Instead of running to pace let's see some run to effort.Distance is up to you, base it on where you are with your running. We'll be splitting the run into thirds so make sure you can run the final section for the time you're targeting.Simply run a third easy, a third steady...
The first week of the year so let's do something a little different; a Cooper Test!It's as simple as you can get; run as far as you can in 12 minutes.Find somewhere flat enough, you can warm up (and probably should) but record the run from a cold start and stop on 12 minutes dead.Pacing...
