2026 Winter Middle Distance Training (800m-5,000m), Monday, January 12, 2026, Week 2, Day 1, the second week begins on Monday!

Monday sets the tone! But it doesn't have to be about smashing PBs. 🏃‍♀️💨 This week, why not try the 'talk test' on your first run? The goal is a comfortable, conversational pace where you can chat with a mate (or yourself!). It’s about building a solid base for the week ahead, not burning out. This kind of run is a perfect reminder of *why* we run – for the joy, the consistency, and the headspace. It's not always about the watch. What's your favourite way to ease into the training week?
