A good way to add some extra cardio with the reduced impact and lower training load.
This was due to be the week we reintroduced the speed work but based on recent feedback let’s be smart and chuck in at least one more week of aerobic work. I have added an extra 20 mins of running so we are still making a bit of progress. Any problems just shout. Let’s hope that calf starts to behave this week.

30 Mins Elliptical (RPE: 6-7)
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.
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
70 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 30 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.

130 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-5)
Pushing beyond that 2 hour barrier is a good mental win. Important to be fuelling and staying hydrated on these runs.
