How does this look? I feel like perhaps we could get some more in there. Obviously we still only have 1 rest day. Maybe something else alongside the spin? Still a good week of training with 5 days of cardio, so the fitness should still be progressing. Any issues let me know. The one thing we are probably missing now is a second S&C but again that depends on what you can handle in terms of leg exercises. So no point adding it if it’s going to cause more harm than good.

ASPT

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

For various reasons didn’t get to ASPT, so stretches✅,25 min cycle, 25 min weights.
Gotta be worth the same number of pts though. Well done for finding an alternative and making a strong start to the week. Good job Su.

Zone 2: Easy

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Find the level which means your heart rate is in zone 2. If you go other that, reduce the level. It’s that simple.

30 Mins Elliptical

Zone 2: Easy

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. The elliptical can tone muscles and improve endurance whilst being gentle on your joints. You might find you have to work quite hard to get your heart rate in Zone 2.

20 mins stairs levels 5,6,7, 30 min elliptical intense session, including stride, jog, hike, backwards, no hands…… thank god as it kept me occupied as my pods were flat! Forgot to say, skin lesion frozen, so 🤞that’s it.
Good news on the skin lesion, glad that well ok, you deserve a bit of luck. Is backwards elliptical a thing? Do I need to start doing that. Google will help me, well done Su.

A great way to get the heart pumping to some banging tunes. Have fun 😁

Taking this as rest day as plan to Sunday long swim ( I put my sensible head on and decided not to attempt Bewl!)
I am actually quite proud of you for making that decision to miss Bewl. That shows me you are changing your thinking. The other week I had 3 quick runs I wanted to do in the same week, including Robertsbridge 10k as that’s one of my favs, but right now my body can only take 1 quick session per week, so I had to miss out, but you know what. that’s fine, we can’t do everything and it will add to our longevity. Well done on taking the rest day Su.

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.

Easy trail with a few of the gang, will catch up with stretches, as 3 days off now. Yes backwards elliptical is a thing 😀, and hard to go from forwards to backwards! All the changes made light work of 30 mins.
Looked like a fun run. I remember when I first did the elliptical and the time stopped, I just stopped moving, forgetting it would carrying on going due to the momentum 🤦‍♂️😂 Well done Su

Zone 6: 5K

10 Mins CD

Zone 2: Easy

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

Long 4 mile warm up, ( ran down with Sue and Lou), sped up for Parkrun, late CD after dropped off. Stretches✅
Great job Su, targets all hit for the week. Nice to be able to run with Lou and Sue. Worked out well in terms of pts banked for the day. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

1:47 swim at Rye lake, longest swim to date, 2.1 miles. Beautiful morning, company of Sue W and Alison A. Great thinking time with revision prep. 😊 ( ignore this as it takes me over target 😀, or use for next week when I may be under as in London Friday!)
I’ll still credit the pts and just tweak the target on this occasion. To be honest not every week has to be perfect, sometimes working to a 2 week plan, where one week is higher than the other, but they even out, can work too. So see it like you have some pts in the bank for this week. Glad the swim went well and you really enjoyed it.
