What an amazing mornings work by my clients at Oakley 20 mile race this morning 😁

Mike Jeff’s and Michael Fisher finished their final week of the last marathon block in an amazing time of 2.14 and said the post run burger was very well deserved.

Next in was Kerstin Prior, dipping under the 3 hour mark in a PB time of 2.59.22 coming bang into form ahead of London Marathon.

Then came Vicky Archer, building nicely for Manchester Marathon in a 16 minute PB of 3.02.

I also came over the line in 3.02 in my last big week before Manchester Marathon.

Next on was Sammie Sutton in 3.21 - another 10 minute PB and all setting up nicely for London Marathon.

In other news……

Slightly shorter was Ada at Park Run hitting 28.21 and 7th in her age category.

And finally Carmien who is taking on the massive challenge of 12 marathons in 12 days - she has made it through to the end of day 4 this time next week it will nearly all be over - but the mental strength she is showing to get the job done is immense.

Do you know how to carb load or do you just eat a bucketload of pasta and keep those fingers crossed?

Let me know if you want me to explain how to carb load effectively.

13 weeks into marathon training and we are still talking to each other 😳

She is beginning to return to form just as we get towards taper, very frustrating 😉

If you have 5 minutes have a watch;

How do you see yourself?

The power of your mind and self talk is so important to your identify as a runner.

Identity and mindset are massive

You have to have that self belief to move forward and that that’s with your identity.

Today I wanted to share a simple weekly running structure to help you build consistency.

It isn’t the only way, but it’s the way I’ve always found easiest.

Monday - recovery or rest
Tuesday - long intervals
Wednesday - rest or strength
Thursday - easy miles or hills
Friday - rest or strength
Saturday - short sharp intervals
Sunday - long easy miles

Most road running clubs have a similar format and that’s probably why it works so well, years of testing and measuring to find the best way.

Now if you are marathon training or hyrox training or doing a specific event you will need to adapt this plan.

But

If you are looking to build consistency to your week, add this to your diary and let me know after testing it for at least a month how it’s going 😊

Just chilling listening to whilst getting the easy work done 👍
