Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.

40 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100m Strides

Zone 7: 3k

Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.

First mile was so cold ๐Ÿฅถ! Good run, pace crept up, tried to keep it slow. Canโ€™t seem to run slow unless I concentrate on purposely running slow. I donโ€™t run with music preferring to let my mind wonder and thatโ€™s when the pace picks up without me realising. Added strides, wasnโ€™t on the plan, hope thatโ€™s ok?
Yeah always happy if you feel you want to add in some strides. Getting most of the team to do them when they are in the plan is hard work so this makes me happy. If accurate, the perhaps the HR was a bit too high, but again that depends on your normal levels, so I wouldn’t worry too much about his one. 40 mins done. 16pts banked. Happy days. Well done Lou

Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.

Not feeling great today. Migraines this week, they affect my whole body. Not just a headache. Struggled to maintain the pace, rested as needed, got it done. Exercise doesnโ€™t make it worse so I just push through and ride it out.
Sorry to hear you are struggling this week Lou but really well done for getting out there and completing the session. That shows great character.

Short on time so switched the swim for stair master. I do like the stairs, progressed up to 10. Good body pump today too. Day 5 of migraine. Sometimes goes on for weeks sadly, hopefully itโ€™ll go soon๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ!
This is where I love the pts system as that’s training. Get the most out of the time available. Hope the migraine goes quickly, sounds horrible. Really feel for you Lou, but respect for still getting the sessions done.

A good long run progressive session that could also be combined nicely with parkrun. Dig deep in that last 5k ๐Ÿ’ช

Was running well, felt strong and comfortable, but developed a tight left calf that pulled with each step, worse from mile 6. even when walking. Had to be sensible and stop as frustrating as that is. I think itโ€™s from too many lunges in body pump yesterday. Lots of stretching and rolling and ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผitโ€™ll be ok.
I’ll drop you a message about this one. Sorry to hear about the calf but still some good points banked so not a disaster. Always takes the positives.

Done. Enjoyed that. Calf ok on these machines
Well done Lou, glad the calf felt ok today. I’ve had to accept that 2 runs per week is enough for me right now with my leg still giving me a bit of grief. But I’m ok with that, when the time is right I’ll add a third and to be honest might even stick with that for a while and continue to build fitness using the cross training. I think its definitely going to give us longevity and it’s highlight how impactful running is when we can do these workouts without pain, but not run. Thanks for squeezing these in too, you went from 90% to 105% for the week and hopefully feels good to know you are hitting your targets.
