Good start to the week. Legs felt ok doing them after the run
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.
30 mins on the stairs instead. Glutes and hamstrings were tight from yesterday. Starting to feel stronger though.
