Squeezing quite a lot into the end of the week. Important we don’t go too big at the weekend and do a hard parkrun before the 10 miler. I wasn’t sure on your availability for Tuesday so put a session in there on the off chance you can get out before flying off to Naples. I hope it’s a successful trip. Any issues with the plan just let me know.

I love this session. It’s very challenging. To clarify it’s reps of 1200 metres with the last 200 metres at a quicker pace. If you get the pace right for the 1k part of the rep, there should be a little bit of energy left to increase the speed for 200 metres at the end. You’ll be working really hard at that point. Enjoy. You Got This.

To fatigued to complete this on Monday, and had to be at stansted for a 6.20 flight tues.
No worries, hope you enjoyed the trip

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Wanted to run this, but my legs were too tight – we walked 74,000 steps in Naples. Plus hard run pending on sun.

Thank you.

As I had to be in burgess hill early, I ran Clair pr. Mistakenly thought this was flat – error on my part. The course is v undulating! Ran 25:04, so too quick, but more controlled than usual. Good warm up, strides & cool down.
That’s ok, made up for some of the earlier missed pts. Yes I’ve seen a video of that course, anything but flat. Must have been a bit of a shock 🀯 Good time though

WU is key. CD not as important, but if you have done a fast 10 miles it’s recommended. Also if going for a quick one including drills and strides (4 bonus pts) is worth while too.

Knowing your goal pace beforehand is important and ensuring you don’t go off too quick is crucial. Obviously that will be determined by the elevation of the route. But I’m always happy to discuss pacing strategies and race tactics beforehand.

Good Luck!! You got this πŸ’ͺ

Good wu & cd, no strides – there’s no such thing as a quick 10 miles! Ran 1:25:10, which is around 20 secs down on last yr. V difficult to compare conditions, last yr was v cold with ice in places. This yr was 8 deg with rain almost from start, so plenty of mud in places. however I now have good trail shoes, so I was disappointed with my time, esp as I am def training better than a yr ago.
Well done Kevin. Perhaps the quicker parkrun yesterday played a role. Also it would depend on what you were training for at this stage last year. If you were more focused on speed, doing more quicker parkruns, you would inevitably be a bit quicker than training for a marathon, where you’re endurance will be better. So I wouldn’t let that get you down. 1:25 is an excellent time.
