A great opportunity to practice your goal half marathon pace. Should be a good confidence booster a few weeks out from your goal half.

I would try and do this with the Sunday gang if possible. If the route is hilly then don’t worry about the pace being inconsistent but focus on working at the right RPE (6-7). But it’s another great half marathon session. Only one more after this before the Great North so see this as an opportunity to make a difference to your fitness ahead of that big race. You got this Karl 👊🍊

🤬 Way off pace today

This run didn’t go to plan – rushed to meet the group, poor warm up and calves felt tight, but managed to get the miles in.

Sorry this didn’t go well. The route obviously didn’t help as it was hilly. These runs are generally possible with the group but sometimes it can be better to do a solo one so you focus more on the pace. Whilst it’s a shame to miss a group run, it can be worth it in the long run as you’ll see your fitness improve as a result.
