A good way to smash out some cardio in just 30 mins. You should find you get a good sweat on doing this session.
Big session this! But ideal if you have a hilly race coming up. Focus on good form and don’t go off too hard in rep 1, let the hill make it tough. Good luck! You got this. Run tall & proud.
Recoveries: 30-60s. If time is limited then do 2 exercises together and remove the recoveries.
*Each side (double the reps). So 2 x 30 second Side Planks = 4 in total (2 on each side).
The only real mistake you can make here is going too fast. Try and pick a flat route as well. Hills will push that RPE too high.

15 minutes. Bish. Bash. Bosh. Add some weights once ready to progress with some of the exercises.

“Easy means Easy! Not 5k pace, not 10k pace, not even marathon pace. Easy pace!! ๐”
Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.
Thank you.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.
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.
