Always a good week when there is a race to look forward to at the end. No track Monday but if you are free I will be in the park at 9:00am doing a session. I’ll mention it to the group. Would be great if you can make it. Any other issues with the plan just shout but that extra strength work and cross training should really be helping. Keep being awesome.

60 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

So hot treadmill over heated lol 😂 managed 55 mins will make other 5 mins up hopefully tomorrow
Poor treadmill. We need to respect these creatures more as they are important to us runners. Well done on the run though.

Seated Calf Raises

3 x 15

Plank

3 x 60s

Russian Twist

3 x 10

Calf Raises

3 x 15

Glute Bridge

3 x 10

Wall Sits

3 x 60s

Hopefully you can smash this out in 20 mins. If you pair some of the exercises together. So for example do the seated calf raises and then rather than sit around for 60s waited for the next set, do a plank and then switch back to the Bent Knee Calf Raises. This is referred to as supersets in the gym world.

Completed early Will be completing the 5 mins I lost during the week Treadmill is currently dead which is really not helpful 🙄
I will be refusing any arm wrestle challenges from in the future.

Zone 7: 3K

10 Mins CD

Zone 2: Easy

If doing this as a threshold session, keep the HR below LT2. If not focus on hitting those paces or working to an RPE of 7/10.

Wow that was hot and tough solo …., not sure I hit what I was meant to but did what I could manage Used W2R as cooldown (18 mins total) so 10 mins cd / 5 mins made up from Monday/ 3 mins bonus also added bonus min from end of 3x 8 mins to 8x 200m
I think on a day like that, and running solo it’s important not to get too engulfed in paces, but focus on effort level, and just put in a decent shift. You were motoring on those 200s which is great to see. I think I’ve got the pts right, but pester me if not. Well done Chrissue.

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.

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.

What? That is an interesting twist. Glad it didn’t prevent you getting anything done though and another strong session done. Awesome work Chrissie.

Segways at Leeds Castle today…. 🙄the things we do for friends, can’t even say I enjoyed it it was horrendous and I feel like I’ve had a gym workout lol 😂
I always thought they looked fun. After I found out the creator died by driving one off a cliff edge, I’ve decided they are not for me. Glad you came back unscathed.

Zone 5: 10K

10 Mins CD

Zone 2: Easy

5 miles is a really tough distance to get right. Rest assured, this is tough. The first mile is so important, don’t go off too quick and you’ll set yourself up for a strong race. Pace should be right at the top of your Zone 5, 10k target. Towards the end you’ll be working in Zone 6 though from an RPE and heart rate perspective.

🙌🏼✨🤪 I tried hard to keep my pace, was blooming hot on the turn round Oh I’ve entered Heathfield 10k on 14th June 🥴😁
You ran a blinder, what a huge improvement on last year and further evidence that you are still improving. And just great having you around and you lift the mood of everyone, which makes such a difference. Thank you and congrats on your PB Chrissue.
