🏃♀️ Why having a running coach can make a huge difference🏃
My online client Hazel explains why she prefers having an actual running coach rather than simply following an app like Runna.
The training plan has focused on steadily building her mileage ahead of the Malaga Marathon while balancing her running with gym training and other events.
Her next 8-week block will focus on increasing her long runs whilst ensuring she doesn't overtrain in the 2 weeks she has Half Marathons.
We've also discussed HR zones being an easier way to guide her on certain runs rather than just simply pace targets.

🏃Cheadle Hulme Parkrun🏃
New Parkrun done.
After a couple of weeks away and being unwell the last 2 weeks just wanted to tick off a new Parkrun today and take it fairly easy.
Was hoping for under 21 but rolled my ankle and found it tough to get going, so finished in around 21:45.
Not the quickest or easiest Parkrun this one but no one there tries to advertise it as that. Great to have so many local Parkruns to try out though!
Took some videos while running round so will post a video and a review in the coming weeks.

🏃♂️Optimal days to train as a runner🏃♀️
For most runners looking to improve, I believe 3-5 days per week is a good range.
I personally don't recommend exercising 7 days a week because on top of the demands on your body, it can also take it's toll mentally. It's good to relax and switch off from exercise at least 1 day a week.
My optimal amount is 5 days. It's also important to be aware of what your own body can handle to avoid risking injury or overtraining.

🏃♂️Project Sub 18🏃♂️
Stretford Parkrun this morning - 18:20. Happy with that and it turned out to be my 3rd fastest time at Parkrun. Supported again by my biggest fan!
These 2 x 5K targeted track workouts during the day are helping with my pacing massively, even though overall mileage isn't very high.
Hoping to get sub 18 by October when I start upping the long runs for my marathon training

🏃♂️Pennington Flash Parkrun🏃♂️
2nd run at Pennington Flash after doing it back in Dec 2023. Quite a tough course compared to the local flat ones I'm used to but always good to challenge yourself.
Top 3 finish again like last time but over 2 mins quicker today as there were winter conditions when I did it back in 2023.
As an Evertonian was great to see Andy Burnham and chat Football with him on the way to the start line along with !

🏃♂️St Helens Parkrun🏃♀️
St Helens parkrun
13.06.26
My first run at St Helens Parkrun and can only say positive things about this one.
Parking was easy, it wasn't too crowded and I was able to run at a decent pace. There is a hilly section that you have to run up more than once but there is a downhill soon after which helps you recover.
An added bonus was the free tea and coffee etc at the end!
Finished in 19:08 (6th place)
(Thanks to for modelling the t-shirt too 😂)
