A strong week with some goal paced miles on Sunday. Whilst the Ultra is the main goal it would still be nice to run a strong HHM and as the 5k challenge final showed you are running at your best right now so we want to ensure that continues. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Klare.

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.
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.
A good opportunity to practice some half marathon pace on your long run. This is a tough session so you’ll be working hard, embrace that. You got this πͺ
So just to clarify you start the session with a nice easy 20 minute jog. Don’t worry about the pace here, even if you are slower than your “easy pace” target, this is all about warming up the muscles. Then settle into your half marathon pace for 20 mins.
Once you’ve completed that, you repeat that process two more times, for a total of 2 hours of running, of which half will be at your target half marathon pace. Each 20 minute half marathon section will feel tougher than the previous and you’ll be working very hard in that last block.
You got this!!!
