Rye 10 Miler Sunday 🤔 A tough route but the kind of event that might be good for you with a smallish turnout and you could treat it as a steady run as the hills will slow you down and pace/time won’t be a factor. Let me know if you did want to consider that. Would mean ditching the 10k session on Friday. Any other problems just shout. If you need to move things around just fill out the form and I can move them for you. 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 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.
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.
A good chance to work on your 5k pace. If you can hit the quicker end of zone 6, then perfect. Don’t go too fast though, especially in the early 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.
