  • 13th - 19th April

Full on taper mode this week. I’ve also switched a run out for the elliptical again to reduce that impact and hopefully leave the legs feeling fresher. A bit of MP in there to keep that pace in the legs, but no need to do anything special, the hard work has now been done. Any issues Phil let me know.

10pts | Legs & Core Gym

10 POINTS

Combining both the legs and core into one good session can offer some good variety.  Be sure to be sensible if you do change up any of your weights or use different exercises.

All done. I’ve kept the S work on the light side given we are 2 weeks out, but I will also do more mobility work this week and next to encourage flexibility and stretching. I’ve switched the sessions around slightly (tue, wed, thur) to give my calf more time to recover and have kept in the elliptical this week. Approach to marathon – do you want to chat separately on this or shall I send you a whatsapp message with my thoughts? Well done for doing some/most of the Brighton run. Phil
Well done Phil, good idea about giving the calf a rest. A WhatsApp message would be good. I like to get things written down. I feel like I can communicate my thoughts and opinions better that way and it also gives you a reference to go back to, if need be. It was a slightly odd experience yesterday, but nice to get something for my money at least.

18pts | 60 Mins Elliptical

18 POINTS

“A good way to boost cardio without the impact. A banging playlist can help.”

18 Points
Simon – all done, 60m elliptical at 128 bpm.
Great work Phil. It’s a really good form of aerobic training. I’m going to be using cross training a lot going forward in my own plans to reduce the risk of injury but also increase the pts I can earn each week.

24pts | 60 Mins Easy to MP

24 POINTS

Rather than just head out and do 60 mins easy, this goes through the gears a little and will hopefully help you improve running economy as the speed picks up a little. It’s still a light session but makes the easy runs more interesting. Best done on the flat to hit consistent paces.

24 Points
Good run today, completed as planned. HR slightly higher (ave 146) . Cadence was v good, and running form felt good also.
I do like this session as gets you thinking about your form as you increase the pace slightly. Excellent work Phil. Another one ticked off and closer to the big day.

22pts | 75 Mins Run

75 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Nice and easy!! Why 75 mins and not 60? To hit that training load target and ensure your plan is as consistent, week in week out as possible, to reduce that risk of injury.
