The Tuesday session the team are doing is a tough hills session. It’s a risk, as probably the most demanding session we do, hence why I have set something different and lighter again this week. We’ve got 128pts on the table, which is getting serious now, so hopefully everything feels ok and if we keep hitting weeks like this you will make some serious gains. Keep smashing it Dan.

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.

Great way to start the week leg strengthening and magic stairs. Enjoyed that.
Also great news you can smash that out the day after a long run and not feel the effects. Awesome work Dan.

Zone 2: Easy

A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.

Took Tues as a test day as back late. Ran this morning Wednesday early. All Ok and with it being cooler it made a massive difference on my heart rate. Legs were deff achey yesterday after sun and mon but no probs on either days. ๐Ÿ˜Š
Love that HR for half marathon pace. Although just be a bit careful as HR watch data can be inaccurate at times, but sounds like this went really well and good idea to give yourself that extra rest. Great job 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.

40 mins easy. Points to make up. Done Thursday.
No worries. I always trust you to find those points. Liking the HR and pace. Executing these well right now.

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.
