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!

Splendid idea for a thread :)

I'm a terrible speedwork-dodger and it would be good for me to commit to one speed session a week. Not a half-arsed "run a bit faster than usual if my legs have some bounce in them" run, but incorporate enough actual speedwork into a session to log it as something other than a general run. Obvs. a race will count for that week's effort.

As I mentioned on your blog, I'm a bit nervous of quality sessions and whether I'm physically able to cope with them regularly, whereas I'm very comfortable with plodding out higher mileage. This could be a good focus for me.

Does hill work count? ;-)

Big buggers; not dashing between lampposts :-)

Oh, I saw the thread title and thought there was a new spambot, selling sofas instead of kitchens this time.

Apologies for the derailment.

Hill work could definitely count.

Dashing between lampposts at 100 mile an hour with added knee lift DEFINITELY counts too...... :-)

Just as long as you complete the session.

My weekly running pattern up to Christmas is planned to look something like:
Monday jeffing 30:30 5k building up to 10k

Wednesday jeffing 5k 30:30 increasing to 3:1
Saturday parkrun - gradually cutting the time as I increase the amount of running and pace.

But Thursday's session is my quality spot - mindful and controlled. To build up to running non-stop, 2 miles initially then on from there.
Today I made myself run slower than felt natural (12:30mm instead of 11mm) and also to keep running until I'd done a mile before I had a walk. Not far and not fast but deliberate.

Today I ran my fastest mile since 1st July.

I'll be back post-ultra...

Although a 'quality' session in the short term might include foam rolling, stretching and mobility.

I need some accountability, we have been talking about it at work this week.

Well done, GM.

I think this is a great idea. Thanks, Sharkie. Haven’t given it much thought yet as to what my quality session will be. Will go and reread your blog to see if it inspires me.

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
A place to record your quality sessions. Once a week for a kick off, if you can. Doesn't have to be running but for once I'm asking for exercise related stuff.

It has to be a session that you feel ticks all the boxes, something you really commit to, do what you mean to do. No half hearted stuff, but no plod through it either. In the words of my elite sprinter friends, you 'execute'. (Not really my friends it's just what they say on the telly.) Not necessarily hard, a...
