Wow. This is a big week. Do the best you can.
Really pleased with this week to hit such a high volume. Running still giving me a bit of discomfort but already starting to notice a difference from the S&C!
Top work Coach!!

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

| Squats | 45s x 2 |
| Calf Raises | 30s x 2 |
| Split Squat | 60s x 2 |
| Wall Sits | 60s x 2 |
| Single Leg Deadlift | 60s x 2 |
| Crab Walks | 30s x 2 |
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!! 😉”
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. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 20 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.

30 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.
