Feels like a bit of a miss mash right now. Let’s see what happens.
Decent week in the end
Decent week in the end. Happy. Just a shame the running is still such a struggle.
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.
A good way to smash out some cardio in just 30 mins. You should find you get a good sweat on doing this session.
Recoveries: Just 30s between sets. Take a little longer if you start to find it tough.
A really quick 15 minute core workout!! Click on the exercise to view the workout
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.

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
