We continue to build but in a smart progressive way. 109pts up for grabs this week, biggest target so far. Keep up that consistency and you should continue to feel stronger on the easy runs. This weeks speed sessions is a bit of half marathon pace, so nothing too taxing but you should bank some decent miles as a result. Any issues just shout. Keep up the great work Chris.

Restful day at the desk, short swim in the evening to loosen up a touch for the week.
Sounds like a nice restful day for the week ahead.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Pushing the swim to tomorrow as it fits in better with my work schedule but the run this afternoon felt so great, the newly updated pace felt much more natural and just really enjoyable.
that’s cool, always happy for you to make those tweaks especially when work is involved. So pleased the run went well and you enjoyed the pace. Great work 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.

Nice easy day with the circuits which I’m in a nice routine with now and completing within an hour which is ideal
Yeah as much as I enjoy S&C now, 60 mins per session is plenty. Glad to hear it’s going well though. Routine and consistency is the key, well done Chris.

Complete rest day at desk
Nice. Although I would say a lot of my injuries are caused by sitting at my desk too much, so if you don’t have a good routine where you get up and move frequently I would recommend that as well.

A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.

Did this tempo on Saturday and the swim on Friday. Ended up getting carried away on the third mile and really pushing the pace but it didn’t feel too difficult overall but will pay better attention next time – getting a bit too keen
I’m always happy to listen if you feel you’re ready to increase the training a little. So I get it and I like the enthusiasm. I don’t want to hold you back if there is more in the locker. No worries about switching them up. I’ll keep the pts attached to the sessions, great work Chris.

Swam and circuited Friday, good technique based sessions but still getting some good cardio in.
Awesome work. With this routine you’re going to have a hell of physique if you keep it up. Swimmers in particular are just ridiculous right? Well done Chris

75 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Nice and easy!! Why 75 mins and not 60? To hit that training load target and ensure your plan is as consistent, week in week out as possible, to reduce that risk of injury.

Sunday Run felt great today, it’s been a very long time since I ran for over an hour and this felt so easy that it surprised me. Feeling like I’m starting to move well now and enjoying the process.
Ah brilliant, love this feedback. Some runs just click and when you can feel like you’re moving well but not working too hard running becomes a joy. Fantastic work Chris. Really happy to hear this.
