See how the body reacts after HHM and only do Tuesday if you feel ok. We could easily swap that for something lighter. But overall a strong week and back over the 150pts again which is a great target. Any problems let me know. Keep up the great work Mitch.

3K Pace

10 Mins CD

Easy

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

1hour easy ‘not so easy’ run after the weekend, legs still bit stiff, but felt nice to get them moving.
Why did I even put 20 x 1 mins in the plan. If anything ever looks stupid, just tell me, please. Sensible to do the 60 mins. So well done Mitch. I think you were over harsh on yourself for Sunday as well.

Crab Walks

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.

45 Mins Swimming @ Easy Pace

RPE: 3

It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.

Did the 2.5km swim without an stopping in 52mins! 2:05 per 100m.. Happy to be able to do that – No legs workout.
Nice. Great to see some progress in the pool. Bonus pts for the extra 7 mins, they all count. No worries on the workout, I know that’s a bit of a grind right now.

*reps/seconds on both sides

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

Did a 35min run today. Plan is to get completely back on plan on Monday.
10pts banked. 1 more than the target. So all good. Always happy to have a discussion about the plan, what you feel is working, what’s not. And from there we can make changes. Being adaptable is key. If you feel you want more running. let’s do that. There’s no point me putting in S&C workouts if you really don’t like them. It should be enjoyable too. It’s a hobby right.

Zone 2: Easy

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

I did a 3 hour pretty hard cycle event indoors on zwift today. Plan to swim tomorrow and perhaps drop the run as my calves are a bit tight.. been stretching and rolling them too.
3 hours on the bike at that intensity is just as good as the run, perhaps better so a good switch up. Well done Mitch.

Try and get into Zone 2 if you can which will probably be a decent pace on the bike.

30min swim done, legs are pooped after 3 hours / 100km (and plenty of climbing in that) yesterday! Who’s taking track now, bit of a shame.. are you attending to run?
I’m not surprised after yesterday. I’ll be at track every week to run hopefully and it had been previously discussed I would be stepping back at least every other week. We have 4 newly qualified coaches that the club invested well over a ยฃ1000 in and one of the few sessions they can use those skills is track. So it’s good for them, good for me in that I get to run with you guys now. I think give them a few attempts and the sessions will be good, albeit the first is tough.
