A good mix of cardio and strength work. Can be a fun session! Have a good one ๐ฅ๐
Hopefully this fits in ok with the trip. I’ve put Gym S&C and the Magic Stairs instead of circuits again this week. You could tweak the weekend as well depending what’s available in Tenerife. Perhaps some more cross training again rather than smashing out a 90 min long run in the heat. Either way I hope you have a fantastic time and safe travels.

8 Mins – 120 Seconds
3 Mins & 2 Mins – 90 Seconds
Tough session this and the idea is to try and keep those 8 minute reps consistently at 5k pace. The first one will feel comfortable, but the last one will feel like hell. The middle part of the session is to inject some speed in the legs and induce fatigue and possibly some lactic, so you have to work hard in that final rep.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.
If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
