A bit of a gamble to potentially run Monday, but a group of us will be in the park just doing some steady 200s, more just for a meet up that to really push hard. So thought it might be an option for you to come and say hi to the gang and just run them easy really. A replacement for an easy run, up to you. I’ll be there running at a “steady pace”. If you prefer we can just ditch that and put 70 mins on Sunday instead. Any other problems let me know. But keep making that progress.

A short, quick, but effective core workout. Unlikely you would go to the gym just to do this, but you can combine it with cross training, a class or even another S&C session.

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.

Extra 10 mins on the stairs and core and arms completed ๐Ÿ‘
Yes. 30 on the stairs, love that. Awesome work Dan. 30pts day. Excellent work.

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

1 hour all complete really felt it after 30 mins on the stairs so might only push extra 5 instead of 10 mins next time ๐Ÿ˜‚
Great work Dan, don’t be afraid to slow these easy runs down a little as well. (https://pbrunner.co.uk/tips/are-you-running-your-easy-runs-too-fast/) This is a good read and explains why it’s important not to work too hard on our easy session, same applies to the cross training as well to be honest.

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

Zone 2: Easy

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. To get your heart rate into zone 2 you’ll probably find you need to work quite hard but that’s a good thing.

Good session that. Strong work Dan

70 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.

Joined the 2hr group but just did my 70min.s. Slowed my pace down from my usual easy pace as well. Did pause strava for half of the hill coming up from Westfield as its mental so I walked it to be sensible but still made sure I ran the 70mins. ๐ŸŠ
Great work Dan, sensible to walk a hill like that on an easy run to keep the HR down. But glad it all went well. Another strong week.
