I think all the time the foot is an issue let’s stick to 3 runs per week and use the Elliptical once. Any problems let me know. Hopefully what I’ve put in is possible? Not sure if your gym is open on the Thursday though? But definitely want to avoid running 4 days in a row. A homework could be an alternative if need be. Happy New Year Lucy.

A really good half marathon session. Likely to happen quite early in your plan as only 8km at goal pace. Work hard and enjoy.

Enjoyed this. Felt good. Fast parts at 5 mins per km again. Itching to go faster but I guess thatโ€™s the point isnโ€™t it – not pushing too hard so you finish with something left ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
Glad this went well. Yeah just holding back a little bit right now. And that pace should feel comfortable. You finished strongly. We can soon add in the extra pace once we are confident the foot has stopped being a dick!! A great session though Lucy and good to see the pace at the end come down.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Lovely 58 mins from Horntye with HR and then 2 mins running round Lidl car park. HNY ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ
Thank you for doing the extra 2 mins. It seems silly but I do get annoyed when I see 54 and 55 mins. Happy New Year Lucy.

See how you fair with this session for now and we can always make some changes. It’s a strong all round workout that covers all fundamental movement patterns along with all the key muscle groups. If there is any area you feel is particularly weak and needs work I can add different exercises in. I like to keep the S&C simple and those that have stuck to their routines and not made continual changes have made real progress.

Still in pjs. Highly unlikely this is happening. Will probs do on Saturday in the gym after elliptical ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
What time did you write this ๐Ÿ˜‚ No worries. I appreciate it’s a different day. If you can squeeze it in Saturday that would be great.

Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.

Ran this a bit faster than I should have because COLD and the ice and wind made it a bit harder too but still very sunny and lovely, long runs are the best ๐Ÿ’ซ
Awesome work Lucy. I love your enthusiasm for long runs. You’ve got a lot to look forward to with that being the case.

Zone 2: Easy

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. To get your heart rate into zone 2 you’ll probably find you need to work quite hard but that’s a good thing.

40 minutes elliptical + S&C session from New Yearโ€™s Day. Wasnโ€™t feeling it today, foot burning on the elliptical (should have switched to bike but toe too sore for the stirrups) and twisted my knee (bending to pick up water bottle ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ). But got it done! Rest day definitely needed!
So when you say foot burning, you mean the foot injury that was an issue before we started the plan? That is a concern in truth, but let’s see how it plays out as I know you were more positive about it after the run. Might be that we just try and rest after long runs, to give it more time to recover. But well done for getting everything complete and hopefully tomorrows rest day helps.

Turns out I just needed to eat more ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
It is important during marathon train we do get enough carbs in. Can make a big difference.
