🏃‍♂️Making progress...🏃‍♂️

The weather this week was particularly bad (for June) and it's easy to let it put you off and make excuses not to train.

But progress comes from training consistently and that means turning up even when obstacles present themselves. Tiredness, the weather, general life stresses.

If you can still get out and train despite contending with these challenges, you are giving yourself a great chance of improving longer term!

Pacing spot on from during these 500m reps👏

🏃‍♂️ Client Testimonial - Allen🏃‍♂️

Allen came to me from a football referee background, but shifted his focus to general running fitness and improving his 5K time.

He regularly shows great commitment when training with me, pushing on through fatigue and tired legs towards the end of tough interval sessions.

We ran at Stretford Parkrun together in April with him getting 32:16 which was his best 5K time since starting with me.

Been a pleasure to coach him for around a year now and looking forward to helping him bring his 5K/parkrun time down further in the coming months.

🏃‍♂️TRYING TO BREAK THE 30, 25 OR 20 MIN BARRIER AT 5K OR PARKRUN? 🏃‍♀️

Have you been trying to break a time barrier at 5K/parkrun and not been able to? If yes, let me help you achieve it with the right weekly training structure.

Together we can work on pacing, a weekly plan that gets you doing the right type of runs, and a race strategy that helps you run with confidence.

If you’d like support working towards a sub 30, 25 or 20 then message me with your time target and we can discuss how my coaching can help you achieve your goal.

And if you’re working towards a different time barrier, I can help with that too. Whatever time you’re aiming for next, I can tailor my coaching to help you work towards it.

🏃‍♂️Group Run, 1-2-1 Sessions and the Manchester 10K🏃‍♀️

A new route for the Park View group run on Saturday, running round the New Islington Marina.

Further progress made on the 1-2-1 sessions, despite some extreme heat in the earlier part of the week. Focus on 5K and Half Marathon training.

Great to go and watch the Manchester 10K and cheer on a few runners I know, including

🏃‍♂️Kingsway Park, Urmston Parkrun🏃‍♂️

First run at the newly created Kingsway Park Parkrun. Now my local Parkrun too, taking over from Stretford.

An all grass course so was never going to be the quickest but enjoyed it more than I expected.

Aim was to run between 19:30-20:00 as wasn't going all out on this one and got 19:44 so about the right pace.

Still loyal to Stretford but this will be a good one to do if deciding on the morning!

🏃‍♀️Sessions this week🏃‍♂️

👟 Jane had her first 1-2-1 session with me, mile reps, working towards improving her fitness for Half Marathon & Marathons later in the year

👟 Steph also began her first block of training with me with some km reps. Also working towards building mileage for a HM in November

👟 Rachel put in another consistent session during her 500m reps

👟 Allen was unlucky to get soaked in of the random downpours on his training day while doing his 800m reps 🤣

🏃‍♂️100th Official Parkrun - Stretford🏃‍♂️

Finally got my 100th Parkrun done. Ran round with .5423 aiming for towards 20 but under 21 as a 2nd target. His best time at Stretford so far - 20:40.

Will bring that time down in the next couple of months!

Good to see there too

🏃‍♂️5K Time Predictor Sessions?🏃‍♂️

I'm looking for the best 5K time predictor sessions to try out in the next couple of months. Looking for 5 or 6 to test out to see how accurate they are to current 5K time.

On Saturday I ran 18:39 at Parkrun and today I did 18:45 on the track so my current average is around 3:44-46/km.

Reply in the comments with any good ones and I will pick some to try!

Will post how accurate they were when I've done them all.
