I think we need to respect the demands of Sunday’s 10 miler, hence why the 2nd run is only 30 mins. But we do some really good gym work during the week, which will be maintaining your strength and rebuilding your aerobic fitness. I love the legs/stair workout because I feel so strong walking out the gym. We could always switch 20 mins on the stairs for 30 mins on the elliptical if you wanted variety but I prefer the stairs. Any problems let me know. All the best for Sunday.

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.
This is a session designed to work the key muscle groups and not inflict more pain on the back. I really hope it works.

WU is key. CD not as important, but if you have done a fast 10 miles it’s recommended. Also if going for a quick one including drills and strides (4 bonus pts) is worth while too.
Knowing your goal pace beforehand is important and ensuring you don’t go off too quick is crucial. Obviously that will be determined by the elevation of the route. But I’m always happy to discuss pacing strategies and race tactics beforehand.
Good Luck!! You got this 💪
