Let me know if you need to move anything around. I’ve factored in Monday’s run which was a decent clip and that’s why there is no Wednesday run. Starting this plan with 3 runs in a row would be a bad idea. I think Lindsey is leading a Sunday run for 90 mins if you did want to join the group, but appreciate it might be easier and more time efficient to run from home.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

FYI forgot to calibrate the run at the end, so it was more like 5.5k – donโ€™t think I could ever keep HR that low at the pace suggested on Strava!
Well done Lucy. Sorry I saw the pace rather than HR so assumed it was a quicker run. I’ve added a spin bike session for Thursday as well now which you could replace to 50 mins on the elliptical if you prefer.

Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.

A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.

Loved (hated?) every minute of that! But foot painful afterwards and very sore next morning – might not be ready for speed quite yet ๐Ÿ˜ข
Glad you enjoyed, really impressed with the effort and pace. But yes obviously we need to adjust based on that feedback from the foot. It’s clearly telling us that is not right at the moment. Leave it with me. I will tweak the plan accordingly to ensure you are training at the right level, but without the high intensity. I’m working with a lady in a similar position to you and we managed to nurse her back to fitness and slowly reintroduce the efforts, so we’ll adopt a similar approach and to be honest, for a marathon, you can get away with doing less intense sessions. Well done Lucy. But get some ice on that foot and roll it if you can.

*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.

Coach Simon๐ŸŠ “Make a note of RPM & the resistance level so you can increase them as you do more sessions.” Recoveries in between intervals are the same as the effort. So 30 and 60 seconds easy pace.

Didnโ€™t have rpm measure on the bike so just went off โœจvibesโœจ
Oh that’s annoying. Heart rate is an alternative. Probably looking at 140+ heart rate when working hard and 120 when going easy. But really well done for smashing this out Lucy.

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.

Bang on 90 mins. Foot felt ok ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป
Phew. I saw this on Strava and was worried what the feedback might be here. I’ve tweaked intervals going forward to make Tuesdays far more tempo based for 4-6 weeks, to ease off on the foot. That means you could do the Wednesday evening run with the club for the time being. Well done Lucy.

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. To get your heart rate into zone 2 you’ll probably find you need to work quite hard but that’s a good thing.

See how you fair with this session for now and we can always make some changes. It’s a strong all round workout that covers all fundamental movement patterns along with all the key muscle groups. If there is any area you feel is particularly weak and needs work I can add different exercises in. I like to keep the S&C simple and those that have stuck to their routines and not made continual changes have made real progress.

All good! Foot recovering!

Great work Lucy and glad to hear about the foot. Sorry I feel like I have insulted you with some of those weights I set ๐Ÿ˜‚ I always like to be cautious first though and have updated now. Some impressive weights there so clearly your strength is very good which is great to see.
