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.
Coach Simon๐
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.
*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.
Coach Simon๐ “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.
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.
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.
