12 minutes. That’s all it takes. 30s recovery between reps.
This was originally a recovery week but we can now use it catch up some points from the two weeks over Xmas. So a long run Sunday as we continue to build that endurance and a fun speed session during the week. That’s one of my favourites as the reps are nice and short. Similar to the 400s & 200s we did that day. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Maria.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.

45 Mins @ Half Marathon Pace (RPE: 6)
10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Practicing goal race pace is essential, especially for a half marathon. It’s important we hit our targets in training so on race day it feels achievable.
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.
