Continuous Hills

LOAD: 32

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
40 Mins @ HM-Marathon Effort (RPE: 6)
10 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Find a hilly route and push the pace a little. The uphills will naturally make the RPE increase. Try to attack the downhills as well, then ease off a touch on the flat. This is a session though so effort should be quite high during the 40 mins on.

Personally I would head to Uckham Lane, and just run up and down for 40 mins, let the uphill determine the pace, and then push the pace on the downhill, trying to maintain a consistent RPE rather than worry about splits. We are not trying to hit 10k pace here, it’s more just about working the right muscles on the hills and building confidence for both up and downhill running.

My. Head wasn’t in it but got it done though. Steady pace without pushing too hard. Nice to be back in Uckham Lane though.

There will be days like this where just getting it done is what matters. So great work Kieran. The hills will give you the gains, regardless of the pace. So thank you still doing the session. I’ll have to get myself over the Uckham Lane one day, just to experience it for myself.
