“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Another strong week. Everything a good plan should have. Speed workout (it’s a good one Tuesday), the easy run, strength work, a long run and even the stretching. If you tick them all of you should continue to make some decent improvements. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Matthew.

Always a favourite with the team! Keep that first rep at 5k pace and then start to ramp up that speed. Enjoy!
*reps/seconds on both sides
If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
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.
