60 Mins Run
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.
I have put the 5 mile race in there. Hopefully you are keen to do it. I think Jax will be running. A good chance to just be part of the Team Orange and HR community without any pressure or expectations on running a quick time (that will come with patience and consistency). If you prefer not to do it and stick to a more familiar schedule, let me know. Keep up the great work Shana.

Combining both legs and arms into one gym session. Loads of exercises here so try and superset them to save time. Find the weight that works for you, the last few reps of each set should feel challenging.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
5 miles is a really tough distance to get right. Rest assured, this is tough. The first mile is so important, don’t go off too quick and you’ll set yourself up for a strong race. Pace should be right at the top of your Zone 5, 10k target. Towards the end you’ll be working in Zone 6 though from an RPE and heart rate perspective.
