Week Commencing: 20 July 2026

Bear in mind these sessions were initially added prior to the feedback from the physio. So expect some big changes. Nothing quicker than Z2 until Sunday though so that does give us more time to get some recovery if needed. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

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

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.
