I’ve moved the runs around a little, change them if it suits you better, but the idea this week is well pull back and do less training so you are getting extra rest in ahead of HHM. There will only be 1 run next week before the half marathon to leave you fresh for the big day. Any problems shout. But keep up the great work Maria.

Squats

Single Leg Deadlift

3 x 15

Calf Raises

3 x 30

Wall Sits

3 x 60s

Bent Knee Calf Raises

3 x 30

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. This session is tough but will really help you make big gains. Use the downhill as a light recovery jog, so exact recovery times can be flexible.

Both done.do you have any other exercises you could recommend for hips.Used to struggle with legs and ankles after runs but now it’s just my hips
Fantastic work Maria. I find stretching is probably better for the hips. I’ll put a stretching routine in that I recommend to some of the runners. If you are able to do that a few times a week you might find it helps. Because I spend so many hours in my office chair I try and stretch daily as I have very tight hips and weak glutes.

Thankyou for the stretches will do those tonight.Did the run today in between school runs due to having no car next couple of days so will have to leave early to walk to work .stretches now sone
Great work Maria. 2 weeks without a car sounds like a nightmare. But the extra steps will be a good thing (assuming work isn’t too far from home). You can always tweak a few of the stretches to suit you. The Butterfly stretch is another one you might like to try. I find that opens up the hips nicely and is part of my daily routine.

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Not feeling it today so quite happy with time 2742 as thought it would be much worse!
There are always days like that and considering you did need to pause, that’s still a really strong time. If anything it highlights how well you are running, to go sub 28 on a bad day. Thanks for wearing the top as well. Always nice to see the team wearing the colours. A very strong week overall with the big race to come next Sunday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
