Every 4th week we drop back slightly. It won’t feel as needed right now, but trust me when we reach the higher intensity training the recovery weeks are a thing of beauty. It just allows the body the chance to absorb the recent training, before we increase the load slightly. Hence why there are only 2 runs this week. If you wanted to swap an S&C for a run just let me know as we can easily do that. Any issues just shout.

Treated this as a full rest day and stayed off my feet and out of the pool, feel better for it!
It’s always good if you can get one of these per week. Glad it helped

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training. Have fun!

Ran with HRM again to stay away from the Garmin and felt good, decent swim too – these days where I am doing both are becoming noticeably easier
That’s always a good sign and further evidence why the HRM is a better approach for the easy runs. It’s clearly working, you’re building that solid aerobic base as a result. Well done Chris.

A good all round workout you can do at home. Simple but really effective. If you repeat this twice a week and slowly add to the weights you are going to make some good gains in the long run.

If you superset the exercises it should save time and hopefully make it achievable in around 60 mins.

Looked forward to doing this today after missing the last one – have a nice routine going but still keeping the same weights currently as it is quite challenging
Never be in a hurry to increase the weights is my advice. That will happen naturally. If you do it will become too challenging and you’re likely quit. That’s what most people do with exercise. Dive in head first, find it too tough and quick. Slow and steady wins the race (in training terms I should add).

Great session as hill reps force you to run with good form, lifting the knees higher and really driving the elbows back. Work hard for the 30 seconds uphill, recovery back down for 60 seconds.

Ended up doing this hills session today (Saturday) due to work and I’ll do the circuits from Saturday on Sunday as a result. Felt good during the hills, really enjoyable workout, despite being hard work. Felt more in control than last week’s faster session which was nice and legs were turning over nicely.
Awesome work Chris. It’s a good one this one as the reps fly by pretty quickly but it certainly gives the calves a good workout. Great for improving form and adding some power to the stride. Pleased you were able to find time to get it done.
