I’ve got the weekend as ruled out? Assuming that is still the case? But otherwise still a decent week beforehand, with two good runs and a couple of gym sessions. Keep up the great work Dan. Hope you have a good weekend, whatever it is you are doing? ๐Ÿ˜‚

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, Off to La Touquet for a few days. I leave Thursday morning so will be missing that day too so it will be rubbish for points this week! Itโ€™s a lads few days so prob going to hurt as Iโ€™m completely rubbish at drinking ๐Ÿ˜.
Well done Dan!! No worries about the trip. Enjoy yourself but equally be sensible. If you can get some bonus mins in before you go away that would be a bonus, but if not, no worries.

A good session to appreciate the difference between the two paces and keep things rolling nicely. Work hard, smile and enjoy!

Enjoyed that ๐Ÿ‘pretty sure I kept to heart rates as well ๐Ÿ˜Škept my watch running for the 5 miles instead of stop starting each mile. Hope that was correct.
Glad you enjoyed that and good to be working at this intensity right now and not pushing too hard. Yes that is a session to go straight through rather than pause in between reps. Really pleased that well. Excellent work Dan.

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.

Did 2 x 40 min easy runs today one at lunch and the other straight from work. Second one was so much better. Couldnโ€™t make Horntye later as i have my daughter down for the evening. ๐Ÿ˜Š
I like your thinking though. Can’t make Horntye, how can I hit the target? That’s smart training. Thank you for taking that approach and well done Dan. Good to hear the 2nd one felt strong as well, that is a very promising sign

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.

Hope you had a great time? ๐Ÿป
