Solid week. 134pts. Better than solid in fact. The bulk of which comes from the effort session, the other two runs are at a nice easy pace, so hopefully they are enjoyable. The hard work you’re doing with HYROX and in the gym means you can keep those runs easy and still make some big gains. Any problems ping me a DM and we can move stuff around, but keep hitting those targets.
Week was hard, not just because of the training but last week for tax returns and issues with the little one at school again so it’s been a pretty exhausting week and I felt it. I am pleased to have got it all done though, despite how busy it was
Don’t know how you get it all done to be fair. Hopefully work will be a little less stressful for a while. Awesome work Kelly.

Another big session here. This is where the magic happens, work hard, hit those paces and you’re going to make some serious gains.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 20 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.

A mixture of strength work and cardio. Likely to be a good session for any running training plan.

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.
