I’ve kind of adapted the threshold approach. Why? Because the data coming back from the team isn’t great. It just doesn’t work without accurate heart rate information and I think it’s creating more problems than solutions. But what it has highlighted is that we will benefit from doing more 10k based longer reps, which to be honest, pretty much everyone LT2 seemed to fall into that Zone 5 range. So it’s almost the same and if conditions are not ideal you can focus on HR as the main data metric rather than pace. 2 good sessions here at that intensity with some easy miles and a decent longish run. Any problems let me know. But keep up the great work Phil.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

I like that HR on the elliptical, right in Zone 2 where we want in. Ideal. An excellent morning of work. Great way to start the week. Excellent job Phil. Extra 3pts for the elliptical.

A really good session if working towards a 10k or even a half marathon to work on speed endurance. This will be tough, but dig deep and focus on staying relaxed, running with good form and hitting those pace targets. You got this.

S&C- deferred to tomorrow as I have shockwave later today so can’t run tomorrow (I will run on friday). Run – 8.7 miles in total. Done per plan PLUS extra 20 minutes of easy (6 points) Splits = [7:38/m @ 155 bpm] [7:34/m @ 158 bpm] [7:32/m @ 158bpm]
Loving that pace given the HR. Working below LT2 but hitting some decent speeds, that is really promising and the sign of a good session. Well done on the extra 20 mins as well. Top work Phil

Zone 2: Easy

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.

40 min run easy Simon, re next week. Can we factor in a park run on the Saturday as Iโ€™m missing these? Iโ€™d like to try for a 5k PR so can we make it a threshold run?
I have a session you could do at parkrun? I’m doing the same tomorrow. If you wanted to chuck in a fast parkrun instead I can easily switch that around and make the Sunday run longer. Sessions will be up this afternoon (Friday), so have a look and then decide what you fancy. But always happy to chuck in more parkruns. Well done today by the way.

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

Another TRC inspired running channel which apparently was the reason one of their presenters got their marathon time down from 3:40 to sub 3:00 ๐Ÿค” Hopefully it has the same effect for you.

Done per plan. Splits 1000 between 7:40 and 7:30 Splits 200 between 6:40 and 7:05
Love that pace Phil. Hitting the top of end of the zones for this one which suggests the fitness is in a really good place. Awesome work and another strong week in the bank ๐Ÿ’ฏ
