First recovery week of the plan, we do this every 4th week just to give the body a chance to absorb the recent training load, but then it allows us to ramp up the pts again for the next 4 weeks of the plan. So not much in the way of hard work, just a slightly quicker parkrun if that’s ok with the buggy. Again you can base this off heart rate, but pace wise we definitely want to be no quicker than Zone 5. Hopefully this week feels more manageable and you feel fresh come the end. Keep up the great work Mark.

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.

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Quads a bit tight at the start but soon cleared up. First half very light trail and second half road. All good otherwise.
Toxic 10 I read the other day, referring to the first 10 minutes of any run. Never make any judgement on aches, pains, effort level, until 10 mins in, when the body has woken up. One of my fav tips that. Well done Mark. HR, Pace and RPE all where we want them.

Zone 2: Easy

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

Didn’t feel great, but got it done. Was mostly on light trail for reference.
Stats are good. Sometimes even the smallest change to routine (running a day earlier) can make a big difference. Sometimes it’s just about getting it done and moving on.

Zone 2: Easy

Basically 5k but at your 10k pace or zone 5 heart rate. What data metric you choose will depend on the elevation or conditions, as that will have more impact on your pace.

Felt good. Managed to run without buggy today which was nice.
Great work Mark. What is exciting here is RPE and HR were in Zone 5, but pace, well, the quicker end of Zone 6. This should be a big confidence boost that when you next push for a quick 5k time you know you can go quite a bit faster than this.
