Thanks coach for your words of encouragement, I am happy with the progress and its with great acknowledgement to you for your consistent inputs and tweaking of the program that I have been able to not only keep going but continue improving.
Just a quick weekly catchup, apologies for the lack of posts:
Saturday parkrun went okay and I managed to get in under 25 minutes again in 24’44. Whilst I’m grateful to slip in under 25 minutes I feel that this remains a struggle and I am having to over exert myself. I do think that the next goal is to run consistently in sub 24’30 but with greater regularity.
On Tuesday I ran my tempo run of 10.45 in 1:02’46 with a AHR of 145 BPM. This may seem high for a tempo run but I ran over my regular farm run with an ascent of 316 vert meters. I truly enjoyed this run predominantly on trail and farm runs and felt really invigorated at the finish back home.
This morning I did the hill session comprising 5 X 100 m hill sprints in around 50 seconds each.
I am looking forward to parkrun tomorrow and will report results next week.
