Week Commencing: 6 July 26

Choose Day👇

I’ve changed it up a lot this week. Moved the session we did have scheduled last Sunday as that’s a good one. Kept the speed work below LT2 to reduce the risk of damaging the calf and leaving it later in the week too. Then just complimented with two easy runs. Keep them flat and in Z 2 if you can. But still a really good week with 139pts on the table. Any issues Phil let me know. Keep smashing it.

MONDAY

Gym work done as planned. Tomorrow I am travelling to Paris quite early so i may miss the session but don’t adjust it as i will try to catch up. Calf is still a problem also so i will wait till it heals before running and use the elliptical or something else in between.
Top work Phil, nice having done my own gym workout to come back seeing the team have smashed there’s. I think making sure the calf doesn’t get worse should be a priority as you’re running well and a week or two of extra cross training is better than 4 weeks on the sidelines.

Full on day from early to late travelling to Paris
Hopefully a chance to give the calf a rest as well.

20m elliptical- calf hurting so stopped there. Did a 20m S&C with limited leg work as hotel gym was poor and calf problematic. So out of down as an arms session?
Ah bother. So frustrating. We are at a point in the plan we could take a little break with it having almost no effect on the big half. Say a 5-7 day rest to see if that does the trick? The risk if we carry on is we extend it by a week or two and we continue to keep missing out on the target, sometimes a little clean break can help in the long run.

Rest
So just to confirm, complete rest? I don’t want to do you out of any points, so just wanted to check. No need to reply if that is right. Hope the calf feels better soon.

Sometimes rest is the best form of training.

Little sleep after the England game, and i was in Henley for a two day residential, so no opportunity to exercise today.
