Hi all
Well I have the following idea for the Feb challenge kicking off on Monday 1st Feb
It’s to do 30 min exercise per day (running, proper brisk walking, HIT sessions etc). Doesn’t include steps done in a day or normal walking around!
So I’m going to send my usual plans for the week on Sunday evening which will include my normal running plans for Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday, I am also going to include other sessions such as HIT, Core, sprints, on the other days.
They are just guides and may be useful for those wanting a plan in place for everyday to follow but as long as you get 30 minutes in each day!
All you have to do is just put on this group “30 min done, followed plan or insert what you done, such as walked 30min etc”
The more the merrier that do this the better so don’t keep it a secret
1st week will be put up on Sunday evening

If you want to be added to the group app please pm me

Well done to Stephen Mccaffery on my 5k programme, he went from 23.53 at the start of November down to 21.11 just before Christmas.
His goal was to get u set 23 minutes, which quickly changed to sub 22 minutes
The focus was on quality rather than quantity with a mixture of speed/endurance/hills twice a week, a long run on Sunday (max 1 hour jog at easy pace) with an easy 5k thrown in so only 4 sessions per week.
He had goal times to achieve on each session which he surpassed and reaped the benefits.
Not always about loads of miles but focus on a specific plan aimed at your goal is more achievable
His next programme is sub 21 and see where it goes.
Anyone interested in programmes based on any distance please pm me
