A heck of a set! I took Mikey to Air Cadets and then had a warm up to find a suitable stretch of road. I found one, but it was on an incline so half the set was up hill! The plan calls for ¼ mile repeats at 6min per mile, which was brutal up-hill …
5 Jan – Saturday Halfie
The plan says 10 miles of 8min per mile to 8:15 per mile. So of course I went out and did another weekend Half Marathon. I love those Saturday morning halfies! Come the 9th February the plan says we'll be upping the mileage to 14 miles so I'll need to plan out some longer routes. …
3 Jan – Tempo 5 miles
The plan was for 5 miles at 7:20 per mile. I always knew it was going to be tough so you can guess how pleased I was to smash it out at 7:17 per mile on average! Nice! You can check out the run here: https://strava.app.link/XpgGbifDaT I've also been chatting to Dave Hartley who runs …

I'll have a play later and come up with a session plan that I'll share on the blog at some point. …
29 Dec – Squeezing in a Halfie
We're off to see some relatives in Liverpool this weekend so the only time I could find for a "long run" was early doors this morning. Up at 05.30 and out the door; the benefit of an early run is the distinct lack of cars on the road with me! 13 miles and only four …
27 Dec – Fast 5k
The plan said 3 miles at 7min per mile. I know this means 3 separate miles, with a rest between, but I couldn't help but go for a 5k instead. After a casual one mile warm up I pushed out a 21 min (ish) 5k. https://www.strava.com/activities/2037752215
