It looks a busy week because Monday is the rest day and rightly so. Also kept Tuesday light to give you extra recovery time. If you wanted to switch out one of the stair sessions for 30 mins on the elliptical that’s a good alternative, although I still swear by those stairs and the benefits they have had for me. Decent week with a fast parkrun on the cards and a nice easy relaxed long run. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Michael.

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.
Combining both legs and core into one gym session. Loads of exercises here so try and superset them to save time.
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.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
