A really good week. Again I’m being sensible with the speed work. You could join us if you want. We are doing a similar session in terms of time, but just slightly more intense but if you run at 10k pace rather than 5k pace with the group you should be ok. Entirely up to you. I have put 60 mins easy Wednesday which if means going to Horntye just keep the hills super light, even walk the really tough ones to keep that HR down. Then the long run Sunday. 120pts on the table again. Keep smashing it Dan, any problems, shout.

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.

Arms and core done Monday lunchtime. Cross trainer to make up this week as used the gym in Cranbrook on my lunch so ran out of time ๐Ÿ˜Š
No worries. We can squeeze that in somewhere. Well done smashing out the Arms and Core. Must be feeling pretty strong right now? ๐Ÿ’ช

Try and hit a pace somewhere in Zone 5: 10k. If the route is not flat you can focus on heart rate instead and try to avoid drifting into Zone 6. This should feel comfortably hard.

Great to come along to efforts, joined in with the group but ran at 10k pace as advised. Really enjoyed tonight cheers Simon ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘
Very sensible and great to have you back. It feels like a big moment in your comeback and still important we continue to be smart. Given it was 25 mins of work, we still hit the pts target we were seeking. Awesome work Dan. HR, pace and RPE perfectly in Zone 5 (10k) as well. So a really well executed session.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Hour run with Nicks group. Ran to heart rate.๐Ÿ˜Š
148, perfect HR, upper end of Z2 means you’re getting the most out of that. I like the idea of that on a warm day. Pace will be effected by the heat and the inevitable hills on a Horntye run.

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.

Beautiful. Great work Dan

Zone 2: Easy

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Deff ran over 2hrs watch said 2hrs + but when it sync to strava it was a few secs under. 2hrs all done ran to heart rate. Hope you had a good 10k today ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘
Definitely a good day to focus on HR. I did see Strava and 1:58, and thought “that’s not like Dan” ๐Ÿ˜‚ Another strong long run and bit week banked. 10k race went really well. I forgot to turn my HR alerts off, but it proved really useful as it told me what my HR was at certain points on the route, so I knew I didn’t need to adjust my pace, despite the conditions being tough and in the end slowly picked off some runners and finished strongly. Thanks for asking.
