Trail Running · Block M1

9 Nov – 6 Dec 2026

Reference

Heart-rate targets
  • 15' = 15 minutes · < 132 = keep HR below 132 bpm
  • Hills: road, trail or treadmill on incline · Flat: road or track
  • HR per km: enter your average HR for each km split, separated by commas (e.g. 128, 130, 131)
Leg strength (gym)
  • Warm-up: 10 min on the bike
  • 4 sets per exercise, descending reps: 30 · 25 · 20 · 15 (5 kg increase)
  • Unilateral work is the priority
  • Low loads, high reps. Adjust the weight so you can complete all the reps
  • Tempo: lower 5× slower than you lift (e.g. 1 s up, 5 s down)
  • Rest, unilateral: one leg works while the other rests
  • Rest, bilateral: no more than 30 s between sets
  • Intense session, so finish with gentle stretching

Stretching

  • Hold 30 s (same leg), 2–3× per leg, alternating legs
  • Don't force the stretch. After long or intense sessions, stretch later in the day
Core, flexibility & proprioception
  • Static holds: 6 × 40 s, planks and bridges progressing to single-leg versions
  • Abdominals: 4 exercises, 15–20 reps
  • Glutes / pelvis: 6 exercises, 12–15 reps or 40 s
  • Optional with dumbbells at home: side bend, bow extension, Russian twist, V-up, V-sit cross jab
  • Proprioception: ~10 min of balance work, on a BOSU or similar at the gym, or at home
  • Also work on flexibility; a more specific class can help with this

Balance routine details to be added after the phone call with the coach.
