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.

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.

Well the bike was great,but its time to listen to the body again and take a break on the hope it actually helps things get better. I hate missing out any training especially when there is a race on the horizon but it is what it is i guess. I will try a run friday and go from there
Always best to listen to the body and hopefully a short layoff will do the trick. Lots of stretching in the meantime.

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.

Sensible, hope it feels better soon.

Yeah that’s not you right? That’s decent, good to get some work on the elliptical.

No running for me atm but done 1hr 10 on the bike hr was exactly where it would have been for the run so happy with that
Nice, if you can get that HR in the right place then definitely going to get the benefits. Well done Steve.

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.

Another 1hr 10 ride first things strength a few hours after worked hard on the bike again and got a lot of prs which is always good to see feeling strong but still have the pain ๐Ÿ˜ข
Solid day, but can understand your frustration. Keep doing what you are doing right now and hopefully it will ease off.

Not a bad day chilling with bbq
Sounds perfect. Slightly jealous although the appeal of BBQs was lost the minute I went plant based ๐Ÿ˜‚

Zone 2: Easy

Pushing beyond that 2 hour barrier is a good mental win. Important to be fuelling and staying hydrated on these runs.

Pretty good effort to try and hit the load for the day started with a 10mile blast on the bike to camber then 5milr run well just short due to extreme cramp in my left calf๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ i even had to stop for a bit to try and massage it out. Then another 15mile on the bike bike back to where I parked, albeit with a slightly sore left calf. The injured leg seamed ok with the 5 mile had the odd twinge but no sustained pain or discomfort so I think I should be good to try and do all the runs next week and fingers crossed its the start of the come back.
Yeah very good effort. At least 33 pts banked when you include the bike and run. Good news on the bad calf, not so great on the good calf today ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ But sounds like you had a fun morning out. Well done Steve. OVer 100pts for the week which is always good, especially if you do have niggles.
