Some of us will be in the past Tuesday doing a speed session, slightly different and perhaps not ideal for you just yet, but you could join us and run a little slower? Just putting that option on the table. The other 2 runs done at your easy pace with the gym work and cross training making up a decent points total this week. Any issues let me know, but keep up the great work Dan. Make this week a good one.

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.

Brilliant work Dan, strong start to the new week. Air Con in the gym is pretty nice when it’s on full pelt, much cooler in there than outside.

Really simple session and a chance to practice running at your target 10k goal pace for short periods of time.

All completed no probs to report,happy days. Felt good speeding up regardless of the heat. Ran late to avoid the sun. Was still down the front at 9.30 🤪. Saved the first 3mins instead of pausing hence running 27mins.
Very wise decision to head out late and good to be slowly introducing these speed sessions. Not too long and you can come and join us again on a Tuesday, just want to be sure we don’t set you right back. Great work Dan.

Zone 2: Easy

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Really annoying my sugar levels dropped so low I had to stop completely. Usually I can combat it with supplies and energy sachets but it just wasn’t recovering so had to stop and sit on the front for 20mins before walking back. Will deff be making some points up 🤨
Just one of those things and not much you can do. You clearly do a very good job managing it as this rarely happens. 30 mins easy short at the moment so hopefully you can make that up, perhaps spread it across running and cross training if you can.

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.

All done
Fabulous day of training. Well done Dan.

Nice enjoyable Sunday run with Lindsey’s 2hr gang
Great work Dan, some interesting data too. Nice and slow (Zone 1), but HR upper end of Zone 2 which shows how much warmer conditions can effect effort levels. Glad you found it easy though and great to be able to run with the Sunday group again. 129pts for the week which is actually the best you’ve achieved since I started keeping these records about 6 months ago 💪
