So this is my first week back to training and i have received my first weeks training schedule.
This training involves the following
Monday – 25 mins Recovery
Tuesday – 50 mins Endurance (zone 2)
Wednesday – Hill strides 6 x 20s efforts with 2 min recovery & running drills
Thursday – 50 mins endurance pace (zone 2) & strength session (deadlifts, squats, crab walk etc)
Friday – rest
Saturday – 65 mins endurance pace (zone 2)
Sunday – strength work and walk
The great thing about having a coach is that your accountable for the sessions, if on the correct platform. My coach uses Training peaks which feeds all of my session data back to them. So i cannot just turned around and say “I did it”.
Another great thing about a coach is that they are there to help you with your form and your worries.
I have used template training plans and they are cheap and easy to follow. However, they arent flexible to work life, family life and injuries.
If you can afford a coach than i highly recommend it.

I’m pleased coaching works for you – but for me it’s not to be coached. I expect it’s largely meanness and pig-headedness but I feel if I can’t do it without someone else telling me, I’d be better off not doing it at all because I’d end up resenting it.
I must admit I find template training plans very flexible – I just don’t follow them slavishly if they don’t fit with other stuff that’s more important.
Best of luck.

I enjoyed template training, i just sometimes need a push. We are all different and thats what i love about running and its community. We all rock in a different way 🤘
