12 weeks of NSA method training & I’ve finally broken the 40min barrier for 10K
The NSA hype is real
Not the most glamorous way 2 train & probs not for people who don’t like repetition/doing same thing every week but an enjoyable way 2 train I think

Book 4 of 2025 - Want you Dead by Peter James
The Grace detective series are normally an easy holiday read even if they’re pretty far fetched and trashy.
The plot of this one was too ridiculous though. A miss.

Week 2 of NSM complete. Rest day Sun as won’t have chance to run tomorrow.
Weds & Thurs both 10k easy
Friday - 10k race (time 43:10) as expected fitness is in the bin at the minute but hoping with a few more consistent weeks this picks up.
Saturday 10k easy on the trails

First week on NSM banked. Encouraging to see my speed on the easy runs has come down a bit whilst still keeping the average HR below 136 bpm (70% of Max HR)
Saturday - 12 x 3mins sub thresh
Sunday - easy long run
Monday - 12k easy
Tuesday - 6 x 1k (60s) thresh

HR / splits for the easy run at week 1. Run was early in the morning so not that impacted by the heat.

HR / splits for the easy run at week 1. Run was early in the morning so not that impacted by the heat.
Legs have been feeling a bit battered recently so decided to try the Norwegian singles method to help increase the mileage and avoid the niggles & ankle issues.
First week trying it. 6 runs a week, 4 super easy, 2 threshold work outs and 1 long run.

Heat & hill work in Bristol.
Legs still feel naff but running is still one of the funnest ways to explore a new city.
If you like bridges, you’ll like Bristol.

Recovery trail run. Trying to keep my HR in the 130s.
Efforts session on Wednesday (8x800m).
Legs not feeling too fresh at the minute particularly the ankles. Definitely feels like I’ve hit this blocks peak and on the way down for a bit now.

Sub 19 5k attempt - chip time 19:00 😬
Ignore the HR data, didn’t have my strap on. Likely much higher than that.
Lost too much time on the 2nd & 3rd Kms (3:54) but gave it a go in the last one with a 3:31.
7-8 week higher mileage block now with lots more easy running

1 mile road race yesterday evening - first time under 5:30 (just).
Pumas felt fast and the muggy heat didn’t make too much difference with it being a short distance.
5k next week. Hoping this translates into a shot at sub 19…

Book 3 of 2025 - The Inugami Curse by Seishi Yokomizo
Loved this right up to the final 10 pages, which quite frankly, were ridiculous.
Overall enjoyed thoroughly tho. Good if u like anything Japan/murder myst related.Will buy another Detective Kindaichi in the future.

🇩🇰 Brølobet / Broloppet 2025 🇸🇪
Hot in the tunnel, windy on the bridge & a long wait to get started but still an amazing experience. All worth it for the views & vibes.
An iconic bridge even without the cult, classic detective show.
Now a sunny beer 🍺

Always good to find parkrun when abroad. Happy to tick off another sub 20.
Pleased with pace. A rare time I’ve not blown up when suns out & temp’s pushing 20c. Dread to think what’d happen if it was closer to 30 🤣
Bridge run 1/2 tomoro which I’ll be enjoying not racing

Found a pair of Puma Fast R nitro elite 3s in Copenhagen (at the The Bridge Run expo) with 25% off!
Have been out of stock in the UK whenever I have looked for them but been holding off buying new shoes until in stock
Looking forward to trying them out next week

6 x 200m (Ave 37s)
8 x 400m (Ave 81s)
6 x 200m (Ave 36s)
All off 60s recovery

2025 sub 40 attempt 4 - 40:20.
Getting closer… through 9k in 35:59 and could smell the sub 40 but hit a headwind and minor incline and it finished me off!
Hopefully on a less blustery day, it’s on.Tho think that’s preferable to heat and it was a decent temperature.

Book 2 of 2025 - Needful things by Stephen King
Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it but not one of my favourite King books. Became a bit of a slog.
Hopefully can get a bit more reading done now summers here. 2 books in half a year!

Oof not the day today for sub 40, struggled 2nd half and ended up averaging well below the pace needed. Not sure if the course measured long or just dodgy GPS but either way quite a way off.
Think I’m still in decent shape though so will go again in 2 weeks time!
