The long run will continue to build and we introduce strides for the first time. Any questions just ask. But keep them relatively steady at first, plenty of time to get quicker on those. I think whilst there’s not a great deal of mileage in this plan we are really supporting the running well with the circuits and the spin sessions. I think this is the best approach with the injury issues at the start of the block. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Lucy.

Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.
A great way to get the heart pumping to some banging tunes. Have fun ๐

A session dedication to the exercise prescribed from your form session. I think these are a great addition.
The only real mistake you can make here is going too fast. Try and pick a flat route as well. Hills will push that RPE too high.

Slowly adding time to your longer runs is the way forward. Keep the effort level down and continue to check in with your form.
