40 Mins Swim
Zone 2: Easy
Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training. Have fun!
Big week after the Weald Challenge so just listen to the body in case anything feels niggly or just general fatigue after that one. But it’s not too demanding in terms of running, so hopefully all will be good. As always, if you need to shift things around, that is fine. We just need to make sure we are not over training. That’s always the biggest risk. Keep up the great work Lou.

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.
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.
A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. The elliptical can tone muscles and improve endurance whilst being gentle on your joints. You might find you have to work quite hard to get your heart rate in Zone 2.
Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
Build up to a long interval session like this. Good to practice a variety of paces and dig deep during those longer middle reps.
A good all round session to work the legs. This is level 2 workout with some single leg exercises and lower reps, higher weights approach. So you want to be strong before doing this session.
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
