“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Pushing a bit harder this week as we want to get you back on track but equally we just need to be smart not to let the injury return. Any issues with the schedule just let me know. But hopefully all is achieving without any pain this week.

Not essential as runners but it’s good to feel strong and can help maintain good form deep into races.
Recoveries: 30-60s between sets.
A short, quick, but effective core workout. Unlikely you would go to the gym just to do this, but you can combine it with cross training, a class or even another S&C session.
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 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.
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.

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.
