A nice recovery week after Sunday. I’ve tweaked it slightly so you could run with Horntye on Tuesday (or Wednesday) if you wanted. Nice to have an easy week before the training ramps up again. Any problems let me know.
A mix bag week for me with a cold and the issues with my R leg. But that being said I enjoyed my couple of runs, especially my long run Saturday that I switched out from Sunday. Sorry I didn’t change that on the dash.
I am in 2 minds for this Tuesdays run as to if I go to track am and do something of benefit, come along to the Tuesday evening efforts or a simple hour easy to see how my leg is. I’m going to be home early from work today Monday as I took a few hours A/L as Polly is in a dance show at the white rock this afternoon, when I get home I will hit the gym for some stretches and little s&c and see how it feels with exercise. I was looking it up and it sounds like I’m suffering from hamstring tendinitis? Just reading the symptoms, eg when I kick my trainers off it feels uncomfortable, I do this when I’m being lazy and don’t unlace them 😂 also the pain in my hamstring and glute, when I’m sat down, cross my right leg over my left. I wiil see how it goes and report back a little message.
You did the right thing to miss one of the runs. You’ve just said something in this feedback which we must change at all costs. Crossing your legs 😱 honestly that is a massive no-no and I think one of the reasons I’ve had so many issues myself, as I used to sit crossed leg, the minute I find myself doing now I stop. You could be overstretching that side when it should be resting. Drop me a message when you decide about tomorrow. My advice would be go easy. I say this because I feel like you’re ahead of schedule for that sub 2 attempt at HHM and the biggest threat to that would be picking up a niggle. So best to shake it off and then come back to the sessions, than make it worse by pushing too hard right now.

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.

So slightly more challenging and time consuming. To save time you can superset some exercises. What does that mean? Well rather than having 60 seconds recovery after your Kettlebell Swings, use that 60 seconds to do the Farmers Walk. And then go back to the Kettlebell Swings again. So you’d alternative 2 exercises and once, then have a short break before doing the same again. It saves as much as 15 mins that you’d otherwise just be standing around. Any issues let me know.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
