I love this training plan. Why? Because I just feel it works so well for you. And I’m not going to be very modest here, sorry, but this is where I feel like I’ve improved so much as a coach in that these plans are so tailored around your availability, but also your ability and goals.

So we only have 3 runs per week, every week. Then if you can do Circuits that works perfectly and covers the S&C part of the training.

In terms of efforts? Not a problem. Because at the start we focus on the 10k pace for Chichester and a few of those sessions I’m hoping Michelle can join you.

Then once you’ve both smashed Chichester we turn attention to the the half marathon. And I really want to dial in that sub 2 pace. In fact doing some of the training slightly quicker than that pace will really help you.

Given that is such a big goal for you and London Landmarks is a race you’ve really wanted to do, I think we go all in for that goal. So no need to waste time running 5k paced intervals.

Your speed might go a little, so don’t worry if your 5k time slows a bit, we’re not working on that, we are dialled in on half marathon pace.

So all your efforts will be done at half marathon pace. That includes a couple of really big Sunday sessions that are the same as Michelle, so again you two can team up and support each other.

100pts per week average is higher than you’ve done before, so it should also ensure you do make progress and end this plan fitter than ever before.

If this goes well, come race day, sub 2 pace will feel comfortable and you’ll be having to hold yourself back and just ensure you don’t go too fast.

I’m excited about this one. A great goal, a great race, and a great runner. 😁 Let’s do this!!
