Sometimes I feel like I need to be more creative with my plans and feel bad when it’s too similar to the week before. But you know what, consistency is king, so if you keep turning up and having my guidance gives you that accountability to do so, then we don’t need to be clever, simple, consistent training. Ignore the specifics of the effort session. I’ve included that as I feel the pts is likely to be what you’ll do on a Thursday, but always let me know the actually session and I can tweak the plan if need be. But keep up the great work Jan. Next week will be easier by the way.

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.
Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
All about your pace here. Try and edge towards the quicker side of Zone 7 if you can. Enjoy.

*Signifies you need to do each side (so twice the number of reps)
This should be a good all round workout which will hopefully help with you keep those niggles at bay. The idea being we can slowly add to these. Those doing the best with their strength are the ones who keep it simple and consistent, week in week out.
If time is ever an issue. You can do some supersets. What is a superset? It means combined 2 exercises together, ideally ones that are different.
For example you might do 1 set of Bent Knee Calf Raises, and rather than just twiddle your thumbs for 60 seconds before doing the next set, you do a wall sit inbetween.
