Lighter week. Important to ease back sometimes and let the body absorb the recent training. I have tweaked the pts slightly for the stair climber. It’s still the best machine in the gym but pts are a touch lower after studying the data. But it doesn’t effect your training at all. Keep up the great work Lou.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 10 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.
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.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 20 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.
30 Mins Elliptical (RPE: 6-7)
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.

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
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 want to be working at the top end of your aerobic zone, just under LT1 (zone 3 on Garmin).
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.
80 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
