A recovery week so you get Sunday off. We don’t have anything in the plan just yet in terms of racing. How about the Pier to Pier? I’d say it’s very similar in demands to the Weald Challenge we did recently and it’s the last week of this current plan 🤔

Zone 2: Easy

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.

A really good way to get your S&C in. A full body workout with barbells will really aid your running and reduce the risk of injury.

Short on time so swapped the swim for stairs (will get swim in later in the week). Good Bp class
Well done Lou, always good to make the best use of the time you do have available.

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.

Cut the run short due to over heating 🥵 🫠. Will do remaining 20 mins tomorrow morning. I’m a bit pathetic in the heat. Oh, and I might do pier to pier depends on the weather. Not running it if it’s super hot or windy, 16 miles against the wind is not fun! Do you think I’d be ok with 16 miles, not ran that far in a long time!
Sensible. Today and tomorrow are pretty brutal and anything over 30 is advised not to run in truth. Hence my tips about finding shade or running early/late. I think having done the Weald in the time you did, the Pier to Pier, if conditions are ok is no harder than that. Granted it’s slightly longer in terms of distance (4km) but you’ll probably find the overall time will be similar and virtually no elevation. So yes I think you would be fine, but equally important to treat it as a long easy run rather than a race, as that’s when you could encounter problems.

VIEW TRAINING ZONES

Heart Rate is the key metric here, try and ensure you are working in the right zone. RPE might feel higher on the elliptical to hit that range. It may take 5-10 mins for your heart rate to climb into the right zone whilst you warm up.
