📋 Plan Editor - Federica Gamberini

I don't have any commitments at the moment. I am doing Yoga at home, using Fitness+ training. I don't have a gym membership anymore as I moved house. I am very flexible, but I could be more restrained in September as I might be starting a new job (I am currently a teacher).

I have the Richmond RUNFEST Half Marathon scheduled on the 14th September. I don't have any holidays planned as per yet, but I usually go back to Italy during Christmas and there might be people coming to visit us in London before the Christmas Holidays.

I started training for the Marathon in March 2025, but as a person new to running, I struggled with finding the right training and the right pace for me. I tried to run at least 3 times a week, planning a long run on Sundays. I used the 10% increase rule for my Sunday run, and I tried to plan some easier sessions (20/30 minutes during the week). In July 2025, I completed my only 10k so far. After this, I had disruptions as I went to Italy to look after my granny and I got surgery early August. As a short term goal, I am going to run the Richmond RUNFEST Half Marathon on the 14th of September. This week I am planning to do an easy run every day with the target of a 10% increase in KM to every run. I am planning a long run on Sunday. Alongside running, I am doing Yoga and I struggled to include some strengthening exercises to my training routine. I started using COPPAH at the beginning, but found it hard to use as you can adapt the training to your particular situation (i.e. I have been unwell for several days in late May/June, I had to go to Italy for 12 days with scorching hot weather, got a surgery early August and couldn't do physical activity for a week). My average pace was quite good in May, June and July (7'57'' KM) but it is now on 8"12" KM.
