It’s not as mad as it first looks because 2 of the days are just stretching which is a rest day. But good to include that now to improve your flexibility. Any problems let me know, the first 3 weeks are really just a continuation of the good work you’ve done of late and then when we hit June we can add in that 3rd run and some speed in the legs. Albeit you have probably done some fast kms at the start of the Wednesday runs lately. 🤦‍♂️😂

Zone 2: Easy

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. The elliptical can tone muscles and improve endurance whilst being gentle on your joints. You might find you have to work quite hard to get your heart rate in Zone 2.

All completed today Tuesday 👍
Great work Dan. You must be much stronger now than prior to your injury

No worries, it doesn’t matter too much, as long as the pts add up at the end of the week that is the most important thing. Well done for getting them done though

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.

Yep definitely feeling stronger really noticed it in the last two weeks. Cheers for all the work you put in. Last nights run went well again 👍
Really pleased to hear this. Glad I can help, in the past (before my own injury) I would have just said rest, but feel like I’ve got a much better grasp now on the benefits of the gym and cross training, so I’m thankful to you for helping me as well learn more as a coach. Well done Dan.

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

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.

Leg work out followed by 30 mins magic stairs 👍 done Saturday
We both did 30 mins on the stairs today. Hooray to us. Well done on the legs workout too.

Zone 2: Easy

Slowly adding time to your longer runs is the way forward. Keep the effort level down and continue to check in with your form.

Another good run where I felt so much stronger than before. Kept to the flat today as felt it a bit after wed hills but that’s prob as I pushed myself a bit more going up the hills, but no probs to report today. Could you swap Monday and Tuesday round for me please.
Love this and glad to hear you are feeling stronger with each run. Good to keep it flat from time to time as that will ensure the heart rate stays down. I’ve tweaked Monday and Tuesday, may even see you in the gym Tuesday. Well done Dan. A strong week complete.
