A pretty challenging session working on your upper body and the core. Both are important as runners to ensure we continue to run with good form.
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.

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.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Really simple session and a chance to practice running at your target 10k goal pace for short periods of time.

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