HHM week. Let’s go!!
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
A good all round session to work the legs. You should have built up to this fairly gradually, so don’t dive in head first as you want to take your time building your strength. Be sensible with the weights to begin with.
If short on time combine 2 exercises together (superset) them to save on the recoveries.
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 good way to smash out some cardio in just 30 mins. You should find you get a good sweat on doing this session.
30 Mins Elliptical (RPE: 6-7)
A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. The elliptical can tone muscles and improve endurance whilst being gentle on your joints.
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.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.

A big half marathon session for those who like to work in miles. A real opportunity to practice goal pace and build some confidence ahead of your race. Each rep will get progressively tougher, so dig deep towards the end of this one.
