Q: What does 6/10 or "Easy" mean?
FAQ - Condensed Version:
Effort Levels (The 1-10 Scale)
- 5/10 (Recovery): Super easy, low-intensity movement.
- 6/10 (Easy): Comfortable, conversational pace (walk the hills if needed).
- 7–8/10 (Tempo): "Comfortably uncomfortable"; heavy breathing but manageable.
- 8–9/10 (Hard): High intensity for short intervals; back off if you feel totally gassed.
Program Flexibility
- Distance vs. Time: The program prioritises time and effort over distance. If the goal is a 30-minute run, it doesn't matter if you cover 3km or 6km—consistency is the goal.
- Run/Walk: For longer sessions, using a run/walk strategy is perfectly fine.
- Terrain: You aren't stuck on the road. Trails, tracks, or hills are all great—just adjust your pace to maintain the target effort level.
Scheduling & Experience
- Event Timing: * 8–12 weeks out: Start from Week 1 (experienced runners may skip Week 1).
- Running Frequency: The program often prescribes fewer runs to make room for strength, mobility, and recovery.
