Hopefully back to full health? We have a cracker of a session on Friday. I did it myself the other week and if you get the pace right it’s almost a threshold session in disguise as you can keep the heart rate fairly under control if you choose a good hill (5% gradient is about right). Then we compliment that with the strength work and Zone 2 sessions. Any issues let me know. Let’s make this week a good one.

Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training. Have fun!
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
A good all round workout you can do at home. Simple but really effective. If you repeat this twice a week and slowly add to the weights you are going to make some good gains in the long run.
If you superset the exercises it should save time and hopefully make it achievable in around 60 mins.
Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.
Focus on effort level rather than pace or heart rate as both will fluctuate depending if you are going up or down the hill

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.
