I like the group efforts this week although perhaps be a little careful with the paces. Either working the zone down or the slower end of the targeted zone. Unsure? Just ask. But would be cool if you could join in. Then we just keep building, keep doing what is working right now. Any issues let me know. I’ve switched legs to Monday’s now.

Zone 2: Easy

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Keep that heart rate in Zone 2. You might feel like RPE is higher, as it’s a tough exercise, but a good opportunity to really improve your aerobic engine without the heavy impact of running.

Legs felt tired yesterday so I did the magic stairs arms and core instead. Will do leg strengthening Friday. ๐Ÿ˜Š
Funny you should say this as did exactly the same myself today ๐Ÿ˜‚ It’s good to listen to the body and make those small tweaks. Well done Dan

Zone 2: Easy

A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. We want to be ahead of our current 5k pace though. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.

Loved that ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘
Great to have you back. That made me happy.

Zone 2-3: Easy/Steady

Likely your heart rate will climb as you run up the hills, so don’t worry too much about drifting into Zone 3 for the hills, try and keep the rest in Zone 2.

Kept it extra easy. Calfโ€™s were a little tight so just made sure I slowed it down and took it easy on the hills. All ok ๐Ÿ˜Š
Sensible if the calves were a little tight. As long as it’s general tightness. The main difference now, to before, is all the strength work you’ve done should mean the injury risk is lower, it’s always there, but hopefully the extra strength will help.

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.

Crab Walks

3 x 60s

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

All done Sat ๐Ÿ‘ yes definitely up for Barry Richards ๐Ÿ˜Š.
Great job Dan, Barry Richards has been added to the plan!!

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.

Kept to heart rate all ๐Ÿ‘. Also last weeks training was 97% so is this still in the 100% I can never remember the threshold. Apologies for late July payment which I did yesterday.
