This is our 2nd recovery week on this plan so we reduce the weekend run. It’s the Hastings Runners 5 miler the following weekend if that is a race you would like to do, it would slot into the plan quite nicely to be honest. Any issues with this weeks schedule let me know, but keep up the great work Matthew.
Coach Simon๐
Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.
*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.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
