Tuesday you could join the team if you wanted. Steve G has been doing the evening sessions for a while now and Sam D is down to run too, so some good company. It’s short hill reps between 30-60 seconds. But the continuous hills, especially if you found some trails would be good prep for Sunday. The volume has increased now as we enter the plan proper with 140pts the target this week. Any problems let me know.
It’s been a good week aside from poor footwork early on.
I’m enjoying the extra work (mainly because I can eat more food again).
Training load is good and the body feels in good shape.
😂 I love that reason for the enjoying the extra training. Felt like you took the extra pts on well, without too much trouble which is really pleasing. Great work Paul!! Onwards and upwards.

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.
60 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
