Let’s see how the week pans out in terms of the injury. Merry Xmas Coach 🎄
Disappointed not to get anything done Sunday, but it was the right decision given the knee.
Target is quite high right now but still a good week
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.
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 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.
A good way to smash out some cardio in just 30 mins. You should find you get a good sweat on doing this session.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

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 want to be working at the top end of your aerobic zone, just under LT1 (zone 3 on Garmin).
