90 Mins Cycling @ Easy Pace
RPE: 1-2
A good way to add some extra cardio with the reduced impact and lower training load.
What a way to start a new plan. Let me know if you need to reschedule stuff, obviously this week more than any will require some tweaking. But an excellent start with 112 points the target. Merry Christmas Su, to you and the family. Let’s do this πͺπ

It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.
A chance to get some important marathon paced miles in. Should feel relatively comfortable, but also like you are running with good form. If conditions are tough or hills are involved, focus on RPE rather than pace.
“Easy means Easy! Not 5k pace, not 10k pace, not even marathon pace. Easy pace!! π”
Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.
Thank you.
Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.
