Quite a busy week on paper but without a long run to tackle it means all the sessions can be done in 40-60 mins which is the positive thing. But if you do have any issues just let me know. Obviously this does rely on the knee making a recovery, so let’s see how that is after the weekend. Keep up the good work Maria.

If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.

Excellent work Maria. Great way to start the new week.

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

😢 So sorry your knee is still hurting. Keep me updated and keep stretching. If it extends beyond this week, maybe a one month gym membership so you can do some cross training? It’s been a game changer for me. You can sign up to gyms like pure gym super cheap and really easily without the need to speak to anyone. And can cancel anytime, so even if you only used it for a few weeks it would be worth the investment (albeit sometimes they do have a joining fee, but constantly seem to be wavering that).

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.

Thankyou for your help and advice
I always get really sad when anyone on the team can’t run and feel a bit responsible. It’s part of being a runner unfortunately and hopefully this is just a short term issue as you are running well

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Seems to be some improvement today, I actually walked up the stairs instead of the hop ive been doing lol.Going to carry on with stretches and pilates over the weekend and see how it is monday
Really pleased to hear there is some improvement. Fingers crossed it continues to improve.
