A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.

Zone 2

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Zone 2: Easy

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

Didn’t plan to do 50 mins on the treadmill, was going to do missing 10 mins then go on the elliptical, but it felt good, so I just kept going. HR was under 140 bpm too!
Nice, love that. The treadmill is pretty good if working to HR to be fair.

Zone 2: Easy

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. To get your heart rate into zone 2 you’ll probably find you need to work quite hard but that’s a good thing.

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.

I can try the tempo longer reps but my HR isn’t reliable. It would have to be pace. I don’t feel I have much speed endurance so it is what’s needed, but could I do a mix of both? Say some long reps followed by some short? Or resume strides (but do them a little slower to avoid injury)? I do plan to do the Weald trail run Sunday
Ah fab if you going to join us Sunday. We will be heading for lunch afterwards if you wanted to join us? No worries if not. Yes I can create some sessions which work on tempo and then add in some speed at the end. That’s a good way of doing it. Leave it with me. I’ve just been given a heart rate monitor to test. Retails at ÂŁ25, and reviews are great. I’ll let you know how I get on if you did want to consider that. Excellent week of training Lou
