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.

Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training. Have fun!

A really good way to get your S&C in. A full body workout with barbells will really aid your running and reduce the risk of injury.

Legs surprisingly ok today! Had the best swim I’ve had in a while. BP went well too, lifting/squatting my usual weights (was thinking I’d have to go lighter).
I actually felt the same today. I was awful Saturday. Legs were trashed. Today felt great. It has to be positive that all the work we’ve done in the gym and the cross training has helped. And hopefully a big confidence boost. Well done Lou. Great to hear the swim felt so good.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

One of those runs that feel good from start to finish, which is nice 😊.
I love them. Still you need to work hard to earn that fitness to enjoy these sort of runs. Great work Lou

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Build up to a long interval session like this. Good to practice a variety of paces and dig deep during those longer middle reps.

Difficult to get this done avoiding hills, the wind and the park run. Got it done, managed to hold the targeted pace and was quite pleased with it and relieved to get it done. Was nice to cool off in the pool. Did a nice gentle swim
A tough session that, so really well done for hitting the targets as well. Further evidence of how strong you are running right now. Awesome work Lou!!

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Legs felt much better than expected after yesterday’s pyramid session. Wasn’t planning to run from home but overslept a bit and worried I wouldn’t get home in time to take my son to work. I agree, I think I’m in a good place right now but it’s at this point I usually get injured, so got to be careful. No niggles at the moment 🤞🏼
Awesome work Lou. Definitely agree with that and any progress we make will be done sensibly. What we know, is what you’re doing right now is working, so we just need to keep doing it, with the odd tweak here and there. Another fantastic week.
