We need a new plan!!! So this is really a week off, but wanted to include some gym work to keep the momentum going xxx
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Not essential as runners but it’s good to feel strong and can help maintain good form deep into races.
Recoveries: 30-60s between sets.
A short, quick, but effective core workout. Unlikely you would go to the gym just to do this, but you can combine it with cross training, a class or even another S&C session.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 20 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.

20 Mins Elliptical (RPE: 6-7)
A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. The elliptical can tone muscles and improve endurance whilst being gentle on your joints.
“Easy means Easy! Not 5k pace, not 10k pace, not even marathon pace. Easy pace!! 😉”
Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.
Thank you.
