Difficult to know what is best this week or if you wanted to pause. But I have created a schedule without any running involved and you’d still maintain a decent fitness level. But obviously the calf needs to be ok to be able to do this.

6pts | 20 Mins Elliptical

6 POINTS

20 Mins Elliptical  (RPE: 6-7)

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.

12pts | 40 Mins Run

12 POINTS

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.

18 Points
So pleased you are running again. Hopefully the calf continues to behave.

12pts | Body Pump

12 POINTS

A really good way to get your S&C in. A full body workout with barbells will really aid your running and reduce the risk of injury.

14pts | 30 Mins Stair Climber

14 POINTS

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 30 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.

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

18pts | 60 Mins Run

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Really pleased with the run. Calf so much better after treatment. Have ordered stability trainers. Happy to continue with you. Yes, let’s try some single leg strength and balancing and more easy runs. Once I’ve healed a bit more/enough I’d like to resume some speed work, perhaps at the track.
This feedback has made my day so thank you. As I’ve said so many times aerobically you’re in a great place. Perhaps some additional easy miles and single leg work will help too. Just the trainer switch is likely to be a big help. So I still feel there’s lots to be positive about. I will drop you a message in the next few days about a new plan. I may have missed some pts this week as the total seems quite low. Let me know and I will tweak it.
