If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.
That session went really well and I felt strong throughout, hitting my goal paces.
I checked the splits at the pace was brilliant. Just where we want it to be, so well done on another excellent session. Coach Simon 🍊
parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
Probably the best I have ever felt running a sub 20 minute parkrun. The marathon training has definitely made a big difference to my endurance. Confidence is high right now.
That’s hugely positive with the marathon approaching and glad you are feeling so confident. Another excellent result. Keep up the great work Coach Simon 🍊
