I think all the time the foot is an issue let’s stick to 3 runs per week and use the Elliptical once. Any problems let me know. Hopefully what I’ve put in is possible? Not sure if your gym is open on the Thursday though? But definitely want to avoid running 4 days in a row. A homework could be an alternative if need be. Happy New Year Lucy.
Another good week. Happy with where the plan is at. Yesterday was a good reminder that the cautious approach is the right one. Looking forward to longer runs 👍🏻
We are still working in a progressive way. So the plan will get harder, it’s just a case of trusting that and not wanting everything in a hurry. Sometimes that approach can be detrimental to our fitness. But well done on hitting the targets Lucy.

*Recoveries: 2 Mins in between Reps.
A really good half marathon session. Likely to happen quite early in your plan as only 8km at goal pace. Work hard and enjoy.
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
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.
Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.
40 Mins Elliptical (RPE: 5-6)
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.
