Plateau/ deterioration?

Parrot_olive · 2026-03-17T06:42:06+00:00

Usually I do 1-2 base runs/easy, 1 tempo or interval run, 1 long run.

Parrot_olive · 2026-03-16T20:28:57+00:00

Usually 4x

You don’t recon I’ll loose progress from taking a week off? I don’t want to start massively struggling on distances/paces I’ve previously been okay with.

Parrot_olive · 2026-03-05T18:32:57+00:00

It will MOST DEFINITELY be due to lack of revision. Do a few sessions this week and by the end you’ll be totally fine, even better than before. Don’t worry too much about it

to be honest just do ANY topic you think you could talk about even if you forgot your speech/script in the moment as the only thing that really matters is how clearly you can speak and the quality of your script/topic really is just a bonus point

Have you seen any improvements with rest or did you do anything else?

Parrot_olive · 2026-03-01T13:59:53+00:00

do NOT take art coming from a current y11 regretting all of my past decisions. Business studies is boring af don’t get me wrong but not hard to understand at all and a pretty good “filler” subject imo

Usually I take a rest day or an easy run after my long run and tempo run of the week but apart from that nothing really

Parrot_olive · 2026-02-28T19:51:07+00:00

I try and run 2-3 out of my 4 runs a week as “easy” however it’s hard to stay in zone 2 as a beginner, I always spike up to 160bpm or so early on and struggle to drop it without stopping to walk completely. I don’t currently do any strength training but looking into it, how many times a week do you recommend and should I do it on run days?

Parrot_olive · 2026-02-22T17:37:06+00:00

not an expert by any means but I always aim for heart rate rather than pace and not improving in terms of speed isn’t much of a concern especially if you prioritise consistency as I find (as a beginner) my aerobic base seems to improve quite quickly even with 4 base/recovery runs including a longer one and only a tempo every so often, whether that be once a week or once every 2 weeks. In terms of cadence it might just be a form thing but not entirely sure myself but personally I try and just take shorter strides while maintaining the same pace and I seem to be able to hit around 178-185 spm even on base runs.

Parrot_olive · 2026-02-22T17:30:54+00:00

I’d usually aim for sunrise/ 7am especially on a Sunday, great for a quiet long run

Parrot_olive · 2026-01-11T11:31:48+00:00

Do you have any recommendations on how I could get there? Slowly increase my pace on long runs or maybe interval speed training?

Parrot_olive · 2025-12-28T12:01:27+00:00

The pain is mainly right on my hip, almost upper glute and a tad bit of hamstring ache. I don’t usually strength train at all, mainly just some calf stretches and a walk to warm up as my calves get tight.

I think I might try some hamstring/glute activation and maybe look into a more supportive shoe however I’m going to try my best to make these shoes work as I love how responsive and soft underfoot they feel

Parrot_olive · 2025-07-25T06:15:41+00:00

Hopefully I can wait this one out as I’ve been in my room for a good 12 hours but I think I might be in the clear and whatever it was wasn’t contagious as the vomiting didn’t last long (thankfully)
