For the 400s you might want to ease back on the pace a little (5k pace) and reduce recoveries to 30 seconds. I think that just reduces the risk of picking up a niggle and saves a bit of time with the shorter recoveries. Hopefully achievable and as I said last week treat every point as a bonus rather than feel like you have to hit the weekly target. Otherwise with all the work and travel I think you’ll just end up frustrated and possibly burnt out, mentally more than anything. Any problems let me know, but keep up the great work Chris.

Working on our arms as runners is mainly superficial in truth, in the sense it won’t improve our running much but can help with confidence. Who doesn’t want bigger guns? This session should take no more than 30 mins, combine 2 exercises together (superset) to reduce the total time.

Managed a bit of each . 1 point only for stretches. 3 points for strength. Went for a 35min easy run in morning so 9 points. Total 13
That’s cool. Anything is always better than nothing and that’s why I like the pts system. Solid day with 13pts banked, well done Chris.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Stretches not done. Please resschedule intervals to Friday. Did do a 10k run @ 5:30 pace so I assume just counts as 50mins easy ie 15 points for day
Still banking some decent pts. The more the better. Probably 16.5 for 55 mins, so we can round it up right? Intervals have been moved too. Well done Chris

Zone 2

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Stretches done. No run. 2 points
Well done Chris

*reps/seconds on both sides

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

No time
No worries, I appreciate this is going to happen quite a bit with your work and travel schedule right now

Done and went well
So pleased to hear that. How good is that pace? Love that. I do like finding a little loop and sticking to it for each rep so a good location to do those. Awesome work Chris. Definitely a session to come away from feeling positive.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Done the run and stretching on Sunday. Also did a bonus run Saturday – 36.5 mins at 5.23 pace. For the core strength work – Is it possible to go back to those that don’t need weights as a/ I don’t have any b/ not easy to do travelling. Are the old core and leg exercises I used to do still available or have you overwritten them?
Nice, love a bonus run. 40pts in total if my maths is correct. Leave the S&C with me. I should have the old ones in there, so will find a workout which works better for you whilst travelling. I’ll drop you a DM regarding it. 108% for the week 💪
