Based on the feedback regarding the speedwork and the back I’ve removed it this week to give you a chance to recover. So it’s pretty much all easy running and some miles at marathon pace, which itself should feel relatively comfortable. Any problems let me know. If you do feel better Tuesday a track session would be a fine replacement for the 60 mins – MP. We are up to 100pts for the first time though which highlights the progress.

Rather than just head out and do 60 mins easy, this goes through the gears a little and will hopefully help you improve running economy as the speed picks up a little. It’s still a light session but makes the easy runs more interesting. Best done on the flat to hit consistent paces.

Done – 62mins. No back issues
Brilliant, so pleased to hear the back is feeling better already. Keep doing those stretches and hopefully it will stay away. Well done Chris.

1 Mile CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

A chance to add some extra miles at Marathon Pace. The more you practice the pace the more comfortable it will feel on race dace.

Done. The 10km were all between 5:14 and 5:20. Felt like a bit of a slog but didnโ€™t get any worse once the first couple of marathon pace Km were out the way. I would have been able to do a few more km at that pace but not too many more. Just changed phones and need to set up Garmin connect and Strava still so may be a few days before runs uploaded
I’ve had this experience myself at the start of a plan and it can be quite unnerving and the natural thought is “how the hell am I going to be able to run 26.2 miles at this pace”. But as with anything in life, the more we practice it, the easier it becomes and hopefully by the time Brighton rolls around that pace will feel like you’re cruising. Well done Chris!!

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

All good

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

All good and back ok too. Did the back exercises yesterday night and before the run today
Great work Chris, really pleased to hear about the back. Keep doing the stretching, even if the back eases off because they’ll significantly reduce the risk of back problems in the future. You can always refine the stretches slightly, I’ve done that over time as I’ve found new stretches which help me. But 10 mins a day can make the World of difference.
