A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

Enjoyed this workout again. Kept the weight used the same & will look to progress this the next few weeks.
Glad you can enjoy it too. Not everyone loves the S&C. But it will continue to make a difference. Great job James

*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.

Coach Simon🍊 “Make a note of RPM & the resistance level so you can increase them as you do more sessions.” Recoveries in between intervals are the same as the effort. So 30 and 60 seconds easy pace.

Nice bike session this morning. Legs loosened up nice & enjoyed it with a few nice heart rate spikes.
Great work James. Good to keep this in the plan as an excellent way to bolster the points without too much stress on the joints.

A good speed session and a chance to increase pace as the reps get shorter. Work hard and enjoy!

Run was completed on Friday.
Was very pleased with this run after the week I’ve had. Paces were good & gradually got quicker as the time reduced.
A fun workout & as the time reduced it allowed me to keep pushing hard throughout.
Excellent work James. I always find the descending reps are easier to tackle, and glad you were able to pick up the pace as the session went on. Some weeks are going to be a grind, but if we can come through with all the work ticked off, we’ll be mentally and physically stronger as a result.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Easy run 60 mins was completed on Wednesday. Was a lovely easy run along the Manchester canal. Legs felt good & kept it nice & easy. Was a good way to start the day.
Nice to be able to run somewhere different and a canal path is always a treat. Well done for finding the time to get it done and the strength work too. Awesome work James

Zone 2: Easy

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

Tough Parkrun today but knew I’d have to dog in after intervals yesterday evening & the week I’ve had.
Still enjoyed it & worked hard with enough in my legs to pick up at the end.
Stretching when back home felt good & helped.
Strength workout continuing to progress & feel stronger.
Did we end up doing back to back speed sessions? That’s something we need to avoid at all costs. Apologies if I missed that. But yeah I’d rather do less points than force it like that. I appreciate this week was different due to travel and work, but just something to bear in mind going forward. All that said well done for getting this done and working hard. And glad the stretching and strength work are making a difference too.

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Good early long run. Legs felt good throughout & took it easy for the whole run.
First 30 mins seemed to drag a little but mile ticked by after.
So good to hear you felt strong after a busy few days. Fantastic work James and another strong week in the training bank.
