Two quality sessions, two easy runs, two S&Cs. A good blend. If you do play football and it’s intense there is scope to reduce the running training a little, perhaps by about 15pts. So something to consider. Even if you did it all plus football you’d still be at a similar level to my top training guys, chasing sub 3 marathons, who are hitting about 160pts per week. So I think it’s still all achievable. Want an extra day off? Combining S&C with an easy run could also work. Any problems let me know. Sunday should be fun though.

I’ve created a good all round gym session here. There might be some exercises the physio has given you that we need to work in. Let me know the key ones from that and I can chop and change a little. It might take us a while to get it perfect but those that have made the best gains with their strength work just do the same thing week in week out with only a few tweaks here and there.

If time is limited what I do is pair exercises together and go from one to the other without the recovery. I’ve tried to pair some up for you. For example you could do 3 x 15 Bicep Curls and then use the same barbell for your deadlifts, so straight away you’re saving about 3-4 mins by not needing 60s recovery in between each of those exercises.

Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.

A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.

Tough but felt really good
Glad to hear. Perfect combo

A really good half marathon session. Slowly increasing the pace and finishing at goal pace on tired legs. Those last 7km should be tough but keep working hard to maintain that pace. You got this!!

Felt good. Feel I can improve that half time at a lower altitude
Good session that and loving those splits!! Well done Ben.
