A bit of walking, nothing strenuous
Good to keep moving. I watch a really good You Tube video about the damage working at a desk does and how important it is to take regular breaks. I’ve been struggling the last week and then realised I’d changed my work blocks from 45 mins to 90 mins. And I think that might be the reason why. So now I will do 45 mins and take a 5 minute break to move about in the hope it helps again. Something to consider if spending a lot of time working from your desk Coach Simon 🍊
New session for the gym. Always possible to tweak this if you want to focus on any specific areas or use some different machines, but this covers all bases. I’ve guessed the weights for now, start off light just to be safe. I’ve also tried to pair some of the exercises up so you can superset them. So for example when you would be taking 60 seconds between Goblet Squats, use that time to do a set of bicep curls.
Completed but did my own workout for now!
No worries. I’m happy to merge the two together. There’s so many options in the gym and it’s not necessarily a case of right or wrong but finding a routine which works for your goals and makes the most of your time in the gym. Well done Michael. Coach Simon 🍊
The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
Nice little jog out, a bit damp but warmer than I thought
Well done Michael. Often the weather isn’t as bad as the forecast says. Always looks much worse online or from inside the comfort of our own home 😂 Coach Simon 🍊

All done, took longer than it should as getting used to new equipment and exercises.
It will get better, so hard though!
We can tweak it if need be. See how you feel tomorrow. That will give you a good indication of whether we need to make any adjustments. Really well done for smashing it out. If you can find the time to keep doing these it will make a massive difference in the long run. Well done Michael. Coach Simon 🍊
Rather than just head out and do 60 mins easy, this goes through the gears a little and will hopefully help you improve running economy as the speed picks up a little. It’s still a light session but makes the easy runs more interesting. Best done on the flat to hit consistent paces.
A good run apart from my watch playing up and my earbuds losing charge far too quick. Hard to judge pace but enjoyed it non the less. Also got 75 minutes in which was a bonus.
I turned up at the gym with headphones that had no charge. Nightmare. So I can feel your pain here. But well done on the run and the extra mins. Sounds like you are getting back into the groove right now. Well done Michael. Coach Simon 🍊

A solid week, progressing so heading in the right direction, enjoying the gym work
The gym is handy. I’m surprised how much I enjoy it. Tricky from a time point of view but I might even look at it as a priority, over things like work. Our health and well being should be more important right? Coach Simon 🍊
