A lighter week with HHM approaching. Again if you wanted an extra rest day combining the S&C with a run (ideally 60 mins) would work well. But another strong week. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Jan.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace RPE: 3
A strong session with some progressive paces. Good for learning to go off steady and build speed in races. Work hard and make those gains.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
NOTE: You can click on any of the exercises to view a tutorial.
*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.
10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
30 Mins @ HM Pace (RPE: 6)
10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.
