Consistency, consistency, consistency. I’m just wondering if there is anything we can add instead of the 2nd S&C if Pilates is very strength based 🤔 A 4th run might be asking for trouble but an extra bit of cross training is something we could consider and might benefit you. I love the stair stepper but unless you have a gym membership that’s a costly exercise, cycling perhaps? Although that is time consuming. Another swim (sorry for even suggesting that).

*Signifies you need to do each side (so twice the number of reps)
This should be a good all round workout which will hopefully help with you keep those niggles at bay. The idea being we can slowly add to these. Those doing the best with their strength are the ones who keep it simple and consistent, week in week out.
If time is ever an issue. You can do some supersets. What is a superset? It means combined 2 exercises together, ideally ones that are different.
For example you might do 1 set of Bent Knee Calf Raises, and rather than just twiddle your thumbs for 60 seconds before doing the next set, you do a wall sit inbetween.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜
Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
