Not essential as runners but it’s good to feel strong and can help maintain good form deep into races.
Any problems let me know. Straight back into the game with a very strong target of 138pts, definitely well above average for the team. Two speed sessions this week, one shorter reps, one more threshold based. Then the easy runs where we keep the heart rate nice and low. Combine that with the gym work and cross training and we have another very good week on our hands. Keep up the great work Phil.

Great session. If short on time superset a few exercises. Let’s do this 💪
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
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. You might find you have to work quite hard to get your heart rate in Zone 2.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Classic session. Super simple. The end result being you have a better understanding of your current time for a 5K. Work hard and ideally finish each rep a few seconds quicker than your current 5k pace.
