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.

Cross trainer and core done Tues night. In the gym this morning at 7 to complete my arms. Chelsea game was on Tuesday night and ran out of time so completed this morning.
No worries. I don’t mind them being spread out a little. Good idea if you do that separate the core and the arms to get the maximum benefit. Well done Dan

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.

Good solid run ๐Ÿ‘
Good to see you Dan, great that you’re back in this decent routine now. Makes me very happy

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.

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.

๐Ÿฅตall done, forgot to put on strava that I did leg strengthening as well as magic stairs. Air con was non existent in the gym ๐Ÿ˜†
Yeah we walked in the gym and he said he’d put the air con on upstairs? Which I was excited about, until I got on the stairs. Apparently one of the Team said the stair machine at Bannatynes has a fan ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Excellent work though Dan and well done on completing all the workouts

Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.

Lovely run with the 2hr runners. Kept it extra easy because of the heat. Legs felt good. Noticed my Legs always seem to feel stronger now 24hrs after my leg strengthening work ๐Ÿ‘
Awesome work Dan. It’s a real confidence boost right, feeling that strength in the legs. I know it’s helping me massive at the moment. I still ache when I run but have more confidence that all the strength work I’ve done means I will be ok. So pleased you’re no up running with the 2 hour gang again. Excellent work.
