Because the calf did niggle a bit last week I’ve kept this to plan and we have the HM temp run alongside some 10 work at the weekend. Combined with lots of good gym work, two easy runs and the elliptical for the cross training. A really good blend of everything a good running schedule should have. A decent total at 138pts as well. Any issues let me know, we can always move things around. Keep up the great work Phil.

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.

All done per plan. 62 m of S&C and 30 m elliptical at 135bpm
Fabulous work Phil. 60 mins of S&C feels good right? Looking after your body is so important. The stronger the get we can always tweak the exercises, but at the moment consistency and repetitions are the key. Great start to the week.

Zone 2: Easy

A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.

Good session today 60m versus 50m original plus stretches. I need to catch up the other 20m over the week. The 60m was split 30m easy and 30m HM. Details of HM were (Mile lap pace: 8:10, 8:11, 8:09, 7:49 for 0.7m). Heart rates were (143, 146, 153, 157), cadence 181-185. Points – 2 + 24 + 3 = 29
You’re doing my job for me which I appreciate. At the lower end of your HM Zone pace which is great and HR in the right place despite the heat. So that’s all good news and a really good days work.

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

60m + strides + stretches + arms all done per plan. In addition, 20m of easy running to make up for backlog on Monday. Strides were about 6-7 minutes so in total was 86min of run
Superb work Phil, a great day of training and loving you managed to sneak in the extra too. Anytime you hit over 30pts for a day you know you’re working hard

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

Simon – Next week is an odd week as I’m flying to Africa on Sunday evening and flying back on Tuesday evening/ Weds morning. I also have shockwave (session #2) on my calf so i won’t be able to run Thursday. I’m not sure where we are on deload but that may be an option, however my best guess is as follows: Monday – S&C fine Tues – run treadmill Weds – Run albeit jet lagged so let’s not make it too stretching Thurs – S&C & Elliptical? Fri – rest SAT/SUN as normal
Thanks Phil, I think I have put together a schedule which works. Will be online tomorrow

Quality 10k session. These are the runs where the magic happens.

Done as planned but on a treadmill so ignore Strava! I had to take a break in the 5m 5k as i was close to being sick. 10k pace was 12.6 kph on the tread and 13.5 5k pace Definitely worked hard on that one!
Well done Phil, some strong paces there. Yes crikey, don’t be sick on the treadmill, that would not be ideal. But glad that went well and you put in a strong effort. Tough session that one.
