14 POINTS
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’ve tried as best to fit in a schedule which matches the days you are unavailable. Hopefully it’s achievable, but let me know if you do need to move things around. It’s case of making the best of the time you do have I think and obviously not push yourself too hard if there are stresses. Best wishes to your day. I hope it all goes ok.
Well it all got done, Friday was a bit of a mission after work 😆 and then packing, hopefully some rest time when we get back to Wales today! Nut roast on the menu courtesy of my mum!
Nut roast. Very nice. I don’t have them very often. Had one sitting in the freezer for about 6 months, but every time I suggest it Jax doesn’t seem keen. My only explanation now is that she has poisoned it and saving it case she wants to off me at some stage. Not that I catastrophise or anything. A very good week Su. Anything in that 120-135pts region is ideal.

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.

70 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.
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.
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.

Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training. Have fun!
