Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That's just what I needed, good luck and don't beat yourself up over anything that doesn't go to plan.

First interval session since December (I think - maybe longer). The plan was - get it done early in the week and early in the day.

Struggling to get the right pace with my Fitbit Charge 2. Run round a football pitch a few times, and try and keep my pace in between 4:30ish and 5ish (mins per km) then sort out the details on Fetch after downloading. Doing 5 x 800m - although the route was measured at 821m, 853m (twice) and 869m (twice). Pace calculations come out as 4:45, 4:37, 4:43, 4:38 and 4:38. My PJ pace was supposed to be 4:53 - so pleased with that.

And the sun was shining :)

I did my first tempo run. I did not like it. I was making embarrassing noises and my back now feels sore. The rest of me? - well it's slightly smug.

Well done Wazelle, it's a great feeling imo. I did my second tempo run Tuesday and doing my second interval session when I get up in the morning. Just the long run to finish week two.

Week 2 completed with 3 more aces, 6/6.

Finished the week with a 10 mile progressive run. Sunny but breezy and my longest run since injury struck on February 17th.

Decided to give this plan a go. One starting question. Is it required ONLY to do the three runs, or can I throw in a couple of others?

My regular pattern is five days from seven

I've added in a recovery run.

There are 2 hard runs and some have struggled doing both intervals and a tempo run it sounds like you're used to running but have you trained to any plans in the past?

Do you run at different paces during your current running?

I also throw in some easy/recovery runs between the three key sessions and find they help with aerobic base and shaking the legs out after the fast sessions!

Good luck with the plan Jim!

Thanks for the responses.

I've been experimenting with different paced runs, that's why this plan appealed to me.

I'll see what I come up with and check back with you, if that's ok.

No probs JJ, just ask whatever you want and I'm sure someone will answer as best we can.

However I will point out that we are all different and run differently too, what suits one won't necessarily suit another.

Good luck with Project Joker this is my 3rd or 4th time going through it.
