12 minutes. That’s all it takes. 30s recovery between reps.
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.

12 minutes. That’s all it takes. 30s recovery between reps.
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.

1 Mile WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
6 Miles @ Marathon Pace (RPE: 5)
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.
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.
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.
