So we continue to play it smart and just push the pts up slightly. If you feel like you are progressing quicker and the injury is much better I can ramp it up. But I won’t do that until you give me the green light. Any issues with the schedule let me know. But just pleased you’re back running again.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

All completed ๐Ÿ˜Š
Great work Dan. Another good gym session ticked off.

Zone 2

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.

All ok did feel it to begin with in the usual place (left leg) but it did run off ๐Ÿ˜Š
Often the start of a run can be the worse time, so just give it 10 mins and then see how you feel, glad it did feel better. Well done Dan

A good all round session to work the legs. You should have built up to this fairly gradually, so don’t dive in head first as you want to take your time building your strength. Be sensible with the weights to begin with.

If short on time combine 2 exercises together (superset) them to save on the recoveries.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

All fine felt good ๐Ÿ‘
This is great news, feels like there is some progress happening now. It’s just a case of be patient. As I found, whilst it was frustrating to not be able to run as much when I did get back up to 2 hour distance it still felt “easy” albeit tiring on the legs, but I felt I was able to maintain my aerobic fitness because of the gym work. So once the legs are strong enough again it won’t be like you are returning from scratch.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Enjoyed that first time Iโ€™ve run down the Front in what feels months ๐Ÿ˜Š
So pleased to hear that. Feels like we’re making decent progress right now. Well done Dan. Another really good week.
