Would love to hear the details of your gym routine!

It would be soo good to have a video on the gym routine that Andy is doing. I can always use inspiration for my sessions.

[Vinnie]

Sounds good, I only have to quit working and leave my fam to do this routine!

[tiesfakkel]

At least my Friday is on an Olympic level...

[greenapple]

Friday is back to couch, popcorn and TV day

Thursday looks like too many beans on Wednesday 😂

[Senseigainz]

Very similar to my weekly plan. Im using Garmin coach

Is a 90 min load on Sunday really a good idea? And 2 days gym a week? Not criticising, I'm genuinely worried I'm totally wrong on how to train for a 5km.

[Moshie]

This good but where’s the detail what are the times/paces for these runs? 90 mins is a significant distance what pace are you doing that in? Plus you’re in the gym twice could one of those be replaced with a swim? What’s the interval break down? Thanks 👍

[lukemazza]

What I would struggle with is how to keep up the neccessary volume with 2 or 3 non running days (gym and rest). It seems like I can only achieve my volume goals when I'm putting in 5, 6, or 7 running days.

Any advice?

[damongt]

Thanks for the video! Surely you’re doing more than that?

[RatelHBadger]

Easy run yes... But for how long and how much time is your "easy"

[brianmcewen]

90 min in zone 3 is WAY TOO MUCH on Sunday, when you are only running 15-17 miles the rest of the week.

[RuairiOTuathail]

Is your Sunday long run an easy run? Zone 2/3?

[gooner]

What is your mileage when you train like this?

[jonathansanusi]

any tips for me, I'm really wanna achieve sub22

[bethdoe]

Could you do one on how to build up to running a 5k? I’ve been trying with the NHS C25k app but I keep getting stuck on week 6 when the run jumps from a 5 minute run interval to an 8 minute run interval. I repeat week 5 for a few weeks, to attempt to build my aerobic base but that jump is just too big for me, I give up running and then I have to start from week one again in 6 months time on my next attempt.

I've just switched to running outside and my legs keep getting super sore especially my calves. But I've been forced to take 2-3 days off between runs and on the treadmill I was running 10k everyday I don't get it

[LGTVQHD]

wow, i am doing the same almost, just 1 gym session more as i am trying to build some muscle mass too as running is greatly reducing fat

[Jimmy]

Gym should be Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Saturday

Way too long between Wednesday to Monday
