I’ve ramped up the points a little this week, but done so by adding in more gym work. There’s lots of flexibility where that is concerned so if you want to swap anything round, let me know. The more of a routine you can get into, the better. The reason for 60 mins Saturday rather than just a parkrun is we are building those back to back runs every so often, which is key for Ultra. Any problems let me know.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

65 min of exercises, x3 reps, including my orange plan ones. It was a struggle, and I didnโ€™t go to ASPT after a bad on call night and only 3 hrs sleep. Hopefully nothing more to disrupt sleep for a while!!!
Crikey that sounds grim. Sensible to give yourself a bit of rest and do your own thing. Really well done though for smashing out an hours S&C.

A great way to get the heart pumping to some banging tunes. Have fun ๐Ÿ˜

The week hasnโ€™t got any better, with major electric cuts at EDGH having a knock on effect with work and contingency planning to CQ! Iโ€™d planned to do Fridays plan yesterday, but too tired, so stuck to the rest day, however today has been 7 min stair stepper, 50 min spin, 40 min elliptical and Suโ€™s work out, leaving my swim for Friday and maybe 7 min stair stepper ๐Ÿค”. Winter blues are here, so having my plan has been important to keep me on track!!!!
All things considering you’ve smashed the training today. 40pts banked today is bloody awesome work. That’s a big day of cross training, so really well done Su. Having earned 37pts of cross training myself today I know that isn’t easy, so respect. Just be careful not to go over on pts, especially if you’ve had a stressful week as you might be more vulnerable to injury or illness.

60 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load.

Watch said 57 mins, but I didnโ€™t stop my watch for stoppages ( your house for 1 photo shoot!)4.2miles, soaked through in seconds and so cold ๐Ÿ˜ฒ. Madness! Hope you enjoyed Six!
Respect for getting out there in those conditions. I didn’t clock the photo until reading your feedback. Six was great. Exceeded my expectations, very funny as well. Great work Su.

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. To get your heart rate into zone 2 you’ll probably find you need to work quite hard but that’s a good thing.

40 min swim, not very fast tonight.
Well done Su!!

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.

Iโ€™ve gone a bit rogue again, sorry!! Blame the weather, no Parkrun etc! 2hr 20 with some Sues and Klare, but it does mean tomorrow Iโ€™ll spin and stair stepper and maybe a short treadmill run. Hope that all makes sense, I guess wonโ€™t get on the 100% list again ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿซฃ
๐Ÿคฏ I’ll have a quick look at how many pts you’ve hit this week and drop you a message with what I would advise tomorrow. Be smart. There are a few runners on the team who have seen their progress halt because they are over training. Less is more sometimes. All that said, well done on such a long run.

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

45 min spin, but no super fast racing, followed by a very short swim that was not really much of a swim. Time in the jacuzzi and steam room with Sue, which I donโ€™t often do! I listened ๐Ÿ˜Š
Thank you ๐Ÿ˜
