I’ve tweaked it slightly to give you until Thursday before we attempt a run. If you 90 mins of elliptical sounds boring we could tweak one of those. If you ever get access to a stair climber in a gym, make the most of that, it’s a brilliant piece of equipment which should bring more gains, although be way it doesn’t make the calf worse. Hopefully come the weekend we’ll be able to put in two good session. But any problems, just let me know.

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.

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Zone 2: Easy

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Will explain re the last week but I haven’t had time at all to do anything as I was travelling from hotel to hotel in Switzerland – v tiring Did a good 30m S&C and calf felt fine. Then did a high intensity elliptical 30m at 149BPM Again, calf was fine so I will try a run tomorrow
No worries Phil, not much you can do if work is that busy and we know a lighter work schedule is approaching. That sounds promising with the calf. Hopefully there has been a benefit from your limited availability this week 🤞
