A good workout that will cover all the fundamental movement patterns and key muscle groups in the legs.
If you get bored of the solo spin session we could switch that up with something different. Some elliptical, rowing perhaps. Any form of cross training really. Also as we are only 10 mins off the hour if you felt ready to join the Wednesday HR run I would be happy with that. We could always knock 10 mins off the Sunday run if you did do that. Any problems let me know. We could also combine one of the easy runs with another session if you need a 2nd rest day. So you could do 30 mins easy on the same day you swim or do legs and core for example.
Really positive week and continue to thoroughly enjoy the sessions and challenge myself.
Was super pleased with getting that HR down on my 80 minute run and actually managing to run continuously for 80 mins was fab. All still pain free as well.
Thank you so much for these last few weeks and look forward to the next 😀🙌
Thanks Sally, so pleased to hear that. Hopefully this is just the start of a real improvement in your running and fitness. Keep up the great work.

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
Another strong workout and still important we include some upper body exercises in the training.
A good way to smash out some cardio in just 30 mins. You should find you get a good sweat on doing this session.
80 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
