40 Mins Swim
Zone 2: Easy
Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training. Have fun!
We didn’t have the 5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2 in recently did we? In my head I seem to recall setting you that session. If so just let me know and I will swap it for something else. But all the perfect ingredients again this week. Speed work, long run, strength work, cross training, and it all adds up to 152pts. I think this is the highest we’ve gone, and with it likely to be warm again I’d be interested just to hear how you feel about this level of training. We want to be careful we don’t start edging over the red line again. You probably won’t notice much difference as the jump up is subtle. Keep up the great work Lou.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
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.
*Recoveries:
120 Seconds for the 5 Mins Reps.
90 Seconds for the 2 Min Reps.
A good session to start off with your 5k pace and then pick up the speed as we move into the shorter reps. See if you can finish with your fastest lap in that final rep!!
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 good all round session to work the legs. This is level 2 workout with some single leg exercises and lower reps, higher weights approach. So you want to be strong before doing this session.
