A good solid start to this plan. You could add a little on, like 120 Sunday if running with the group. For the Stairs, best advice is keep your heart rate somewhere around 130-140, and use that to determine which level to work on, and ideally not hold on. The S&C we can tweak if you want. The best results I’ve seen as a coach are from the runners who just do the same thing week in week out. Is that the best method? Arguably not, but the more I see runners chop and change they often take a step back to adjust to new exercises and that effects progress. So find a routine which works for you, covers most key muscles and just repeat, over and over. Any questions just ask. Great to have you back. As I said in the assessment, I’m excited, I think you might get a few to sit up and take note this summer.

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.

Skeptical instead of stairclimber because not available. Couldn’t quite work out which gym session to do but did the usual. Will probably add some of the new ones. Got there a bit late and it was busy but felt like a good session nevertheless
Sorry. I forgot to delete the old one ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ That must have been a bit confusing. Hopefully the new one will be quicker to do, but we can always tweak it if you feel there are different exercises you want to include. It’s finding a consistent routine that you are comfortable with and also works all the key muscle groups. Sometimes it needs a bit of trial and error. But well done for getting in there. The stairs are a bit more productive that the elliptical so 20 mins on the stairs is equal to 30 mins elliptical. Great work Jo.

Kevin’s cafe run. Tough up London Road and in the wind
Nice to be able to have this option and run with the cafe group. That does sound challenging. London Road goes on forever, but good to include the odd hill. Well done Jo.

‘Super fast’ with the wind behind me, quite a bit slower into it. Very pleased with myself setting up the intervals on my phone and syncing with the watch
Learning new skills. Love that. And really well done on getting this session done on your own. Some good splits in there (checked Strava) so lots to be pleased with here. Awesome work Jo

A great way to get the heart pumping to some banging tunes. Have fun ๐Ÿ˜

A good quiet and sweaty session in the gym and on the bike.
What a difference it makes when it’s quiet. I went first thing this morning. Had about 6 different machines I wanted to use, only one of them was three, but as I started to approach it, so did this giant beefcake of a guy, so I stepped aside and went over to the corner to do something else away from the scary people. Well done on your own session and spin today Jo.

Slowly adding time to your longer runs is the way forward. Keep the effort level down and continue to check in with your form.

Great work Jo. So the run Friday was extra? All I would say if doing that is make that clear as I probably would have made this Sunday one a bit easier. That said you’ve hit a really good target here of 129 and not sure how you found the week overall. If it felt too much, but it’s a way of finding the right level for you going forward to get the best out of your running. Just be a little careful as we want progress to be gradual, and ended up doing quite a lot more than was on plan (116%)
