A bit of a gamble to potentially run Monday, but a group of us will be in the park just doing some steady 200s, more just for a meet up that to really push hard. So thought it might be an option for you to come and say hi to the gang and just run them easy really. A replacement for an easy run, up to you. I’ll be there running at a “steady pace”. If you prefer we can just ditch that and put 70 mins on Sunday instead. Any other problems let me know. But keep making that progress.

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.
Not essential as runners but it’s good to feel strong and can help maintain good form deep into races.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.
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.
A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.
A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. To get your heart rate into zone 2 you’ll probably find you need to work quite hard but that’s a good thing.
70 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.
