First track session in the plan although I’d like you to judge how you feel as still only 9 days after Beachy Head. If it feels too soon, delay it. We have plenty of time on our side and don’t want an injury right now. Same applies for Saturday really as there might be some fatigue in the legs which could impact the time, so just go there, run a strong race without any real expectations or pressure. If you were doing a goal half marathon you would not have done a marathon 2 weeks earlier. Any problems let me know
Great to end the week on a high with a PB. Really appreciate your kind words too. I know how quickly things can change with running so I really try to appreciate every moment of success.
It’s just making sure the behaviours are right and focusing on them and success will then naturally come.
I’m looking forward to the next few weeks as things from a race perspective have settled down now and I can really focus on some good sessions.
Yeah excellent week. “Process, process, process”. I’m very much a believer now that the outcome of my race is already determined before I take the start line. Obviously I still need to work hard on the day, but that’s something I will always do, and with that mindset it takes away any pressure of failure. If I don’t hit my targets, I don’t criticise my performance, I look back at my training to see what I can change. Anyhow, fantastic running this week and keep hitting those weekly targets (this week was 105 after changes not 115) and you’ll continue to see gains. Great work Danny.

The only real mistake you can make here is going too fast. Try and pick a flat route as well. Hills will push that RPE too high.

If the weather is good then this out and back loop provides an excellent opportunity to run a fast time. Let’s just hope that wind behaves itself.
