Hitting a decent total without actually going into threshold once, which is interesting. The bike on Monday might need tweaking in terms of pts depending what the HR does. But I know you work a little harder than others who just go out on the bike and roll down the hills. Any problems let me know but interested to see how this slight tweak helps and hopefully it will at least give the calf a chance to rest up.

Well i couldn’t get out on the bike this morning as I needed the van at work. So I hit up the elliptical once I got home and put it on a tougher programme and got the hr up on the tough bits it was pretty much intervals. Then done strenght after I did do som single leg po gos just to put some strain through the niggle and it did hurt but just felt bruised which kinda makes sesne as I do have some bruises coming out, I think its from me giving it a very deep massage 🤦‍♂️. Legs feel strong though so that is a positive, im Not sure if i will run tomorrow yet or wait till the weekend just to have more time to let the bruises clear. I will probably go to the gym after work so I could try the treadmill if I feel its worth the risk but we will see.
Sounds like we hit the targets though by increasing the intensity on the elliptical and getting the HR up so that’s a cool. Yeah keep taking it day by day right now but we’re still banking some decent training which is impressive. One of my over riding thoughts about Sunday in particular was the question “should humans really be doing marathons?”. “Are we built to go that far?”. That was based on the number of runners I follow coming unstuck after 20 miles and also the state of those towards the back of the field I had to encounter. I think we get swept up in what everyone else is doing, especially in this day and age with social media, but less is more I think. I will definitely be selective with my marathons going forward to try and make sure I can continue to run for as long as possible.

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.

Well no running but a good effort in the gym it was. I done 5min row to warm up and decide what to do i then done, 30min stairs, 20min elliptical then topped off with another 10min stairs. Legs felt strong and I didn’t feel my calf once.
Nice, smashing out some big points with the cross training. I may reduce the stair climber points soon as might have overexaggerated it a touch, but it’s definitely a great piece of equipment to train on. Well done Steve, glad the calf felt ok.

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.
