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

60 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2-5)
60 mins on the flat is quite different to 60 mins on the hills. So it’s important to differentiate between the two and if you do a hilly easy run, to account for that extra training load and how it might impact the rest of your week.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load.
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 30 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.
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.
Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
90 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
