I’m going to stop being modest for a minute and just say how much I like this schedule because everything is different. Strength work, spin class, swim, the stair master, speed work and easy runs. All in the space of a week. I love this variety and hopefully you continue to enjoy it. If you do need to move things around let me know, but I think we’ve found the sweet spot around the 130pts mark for now. Keep up the great work Su.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

16x15x3 and some stretches. Revitalising 15 min sea swim.
Sounds like a good days work. Definitely some bonus pts in there. Well done Su.

Zone 2-3: Easy/Steady

Likely your heart rate will climb as you run up the hills, so don’t worry too much about drifting into Zone 3 for the hills, try and keep the rest in Zone 2.

Sorry, Iโ€™ve made a bit of a mess of my amazing plan this week! Iโ€™ve done 65 mins of ups and downs today, with close attention to HR. I need tomorrow to be my rest day as itโ€™s the long drive home. Iโ€™m also limited on what I can do Friday as we have friends to dinner. Iโ€™ll leave it with you to change things round. I really am sorry!!! Next week I am away Monday to Saturday, Monday and Saturday will be travel days, so will unfortunately need to be rest days again, at the most S&C on the Monday.
No worries Su, appreciate you letting me know and it’s very quick and easy for me to change things. This session covers what you did have tomorrow in terms of points so no need to add or remove anything else in the plan at the moment. Safe travels.

60 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load.

Bimble along the link rd path. Plus 15 min S&C (4 of my Suโ€™s legs)
what a lovely place to Bimble. Well done on the leg exercises too.

30 Mins Stairs

Zone 2: Easy

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Keep that heart rate in Zone 2. You might feel like RPE is higher, as it’s a tough exercise, but a good opportunity to really improve your aerobic engine without the heavy impact of running.

swimming

45 Mins Swim

45 Mins Swim

45 Mins Swimming @ Easy Pace

RPE: 3

It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.

With family for dinner and EDGH for work all day, time was short, 26 min spin and x4 S&C was the best I could do. But plan on increasing time on Sunday run.
That’s ok. Sometimes it’s about making the best use of the time we have available. And every point contributes towards the target. Don’t force it too much Sunday. Chasing points is often how runners do get injuries.

Zone 6: 5K

10 Mins CD

Zone 2: Easy

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Parkrun before Parkrun ๐Ÿ˜œ, no warm up or cooldown due to token supporting, but a moderate effort 5K. I will increase tomorrow to a 2 hr trail .
Well done Su, thanks for helping out today. Yeah 2 hours would be perfect tomorrow and get you enough pts this week.

Zone 2: Easy

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Some serious elevation again, proper trail at times that we had to concentrate ๐Ÿ˜†, but a beautiful run with some of my favourite people. Glute pain had kept me awake, but eased off when up and about, so sitting for me then! 2.5 hrs, as I was route planner/finder, only myself to blame!
I think sitting is definitely the guilty part for glute issues. Sounds like you had a blast today and the trails are beautiful right now. The woods where they do XC at Pett are amazing. Well done on a strong week Su. So long as we stay under 140pts I think you’re working at a level which is not too demanding. You have gone 137-134-132-134-131 in your last 5 weeks though so you are due an easier week, very soon.
