Thatās fantastic running, I understand now why you were such a threat on the overlap from right back.

I was having very niggly problems with my joints for the first 6/7 weeks of running so I was only getting out sporadically but I think it was just my body adjusting. Legs are going great guns now. Iāve a pair of dodgy knees so happy to report Iām having zero issues with them. On the longer runs I need to work on pacing myself. As a marauding full back I tend to go all at it and fade around the 7.5k.

Iām 11 stone but my upper body is very svelte. Iāve a Fabio Grosso type build.
It really is. I booked a 10am Reformer Pilates session this morning. My hips have never felt better - internally and externally rotated to fuck.
Back for some scrambled eggs and coffee and watch the Olympics.

Week 1 done. Having done my 60 min LSR on Friday instead of today and taken yesterday off, I changed my recovery today to 45 min at 6:00/km from 35 min at 6:10/km. I hope this doesnāt come across as a blatant display of dissent. Any changes for week 2 @fenwaypark? Friday will always be my long run day btw.

@Bandage Week 2
Mon - 45 mins easy @ 5.30ish per k. Do 6 strides at end. These are 100 metres hard. Not a full on sprint. You walk 100 metres as a recovery.
Tues- 16 x 200 metres @ 4mins per k with 200 metres recovery (very slow jog or walk if you need to.) Do 2k warm up and cool down.
Wed - 45 min recovery @ 6.10ish per k
Thursday- 5x 5mins off 2min recovery. Run these @ 4.40 per k. Do 2k warm up and cool down.
Friday- 65 min LSR @ 5.30ish to 5.50ish per k. Try and aim for later
Saturday - rest
Sunday - As monday.
Make sure to do some stretching after warm up on Tuesday and Thursday. If you find the paces too hard/not managable, let me know and we will adjust following week.

You train at your current level of fitness, not where you want to be. If you do the latter, you will get injured.
Why dont you put together a plan for @flattythehurdler , ye seem to be on the same wave length.

You stick to your ārunning for snowflakesā. @Tassotti and I will be belting sides of beef and injecting.
