“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
A tricky one as we have the 10k Sunday, which normally we would rest up for, but we still need to try and squeeze in the rest of the training. We have a week off after this planned. So up to you if you want to take it or carry on and make up for some missed points? If we do train next week you could make this week lighter so you are fresher for Sunday. Lots of options. See how the week progresses.
Feeling better, back to busy training!
A great finish to the week and glad you are feeling better. Still at 84%, which might sound low, but it’s not that bad and if we pick up from here on we can creep that back up. If at any point it feels too much with all the work stress we can just tweak the targets. It really is that simple. Keep up the great work Mitch.

Maintaining your current 5k pace will get progressively more challenging as a session unfolds. So breaking it down in this nature should allow you to maintain that pace for the whole session.

40 Mins Swimming @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training. Have fun!
*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.
Coach Simon🍊 “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.
