Conscious effort to hold back on this session.
Critical analysis of my previous training block was that I was probably pushing too hard during threshold sessions and drifting over LT2 too much.
Ideally I’ll see pace increase for the same HR output when repeating this.
No race or faster session coming up so a nice chance to change to my strength plan.
This is a larger range of motion than I’d use if I had faster session planned as it’s more likely to bring on some DOMS.
DOMS won’t interfere with the running I have planned so it gets a 🟢
I think there’s something in this piece for everyone.
Lovely work Ciaran.

It’s so easy to let strength training slip out of your routine when your running programme gets tough.
I recommend keeping one session in there as best as you can.
It can be short. Squat, hinge and plantar flexor work covers a lot.

Session today.
10s hill strides and 4x8mins threshold.
Strides pre session are suiting well.
Don’t need to worry about them on easy days and I’m more likely to have higher force outputs when fresh at the start of the session.
Free public access to this track in Denia, Spain. What a resource to have.
Two older gentlemen running laps, a guy about 50 running 200’s and two teenagers practicing rugby skills in the infield. This was at 2.30pm. I’m sure it’s far busier in the evenings and on weekends.
4 mile road race.
Beautiful evening and rolling country roads.
Felt like I paced it well and finished strongly without absolutely burying myself. Good outcome for a midweek effort rather than a key race of the year.
14th place finish out of 548 finishers.
Raced a hilly 10 mile course on Sunday and I’m just recovering from the quad DOMS.
Did an hour of digging in the garden today and I’m fearing the DOMS could be worse 😬
Nice infographic.
If I’m helping someone with a muscle injury and we don’t have an MRI I tend not to use G1,2,3. It’s a radiological diagnosis.
Language using “Low > high severity amount of damage” based on clinical presentation works better I think.
Quick guide for the BAMIC (Muscle Injury Classification) in practice.
1) Grade the injury.
2) Define the location.
3) Predict recovery.
Save it for your reference.
