10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
5 miles is a really tough distance to get right. Rest assured, this is tough. The first mile is so important, don’t go off too quick and you’ll set yourself up for a strong race.
I’m reluctant to set you targets here because that seems a little unfair given the circumstances. But to give you some ideal, Jodie’s target is fractionally quicker than your target pace on my trusty spreadsheet, whilst Mark has exactly the same right now. He’s a very good judge of pace too, so perhaps someone just to keep an eye on, although something tells me you could perhaps go quicker. The most important thing at this stage of the new plan is to enjoy yourself. It will be tough at times with a high effort level, but run tall & proud, with a smile on your face and it should be a great day. Very best of luck Su. Happy to give you a target pace and time if you would prefer.
