15 POINTS
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.
Loads of good stuff in there. I’ve tweaked the target again. WE DON’T WANT TO BE GOING ABOVE 135!! 😉 That said whilst it’s high it’s still the level Sue M is hitting as she does loads in the gym. So it’s achievable I think. I’ve added in some magic stairs as well as spin and swimming. Any problems let me know. Keep up the great work Su
This virus can do one, that’s all!!
135pts with a virus? You are awesome Su!! Hope you feel better soon though.

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
The idea of this workout is to build the key muscles in the legs to support you on those long runs. This, once a week alongside ASPT should build some key strength in those important muscles.
45 Mins @ Varied Intensity (RPE: 3-9)
A great way to get the heart pumping to some banging tunes. Have fun 😁
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 20 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.
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.
I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.
