These next 3 weeks are the peak stage of this plan. So if you work hard for these 3 weeks it’s when you have the most significant impact on your marathon time. Why so early in the plan? Because the closer to Paris we get we just want to ease back a little and not hammer the miles too hard. This also relates to efforts. This weeks sessions is the toughest one on the plan. So know if you get this done, the speed work will get progressively easier from next week as we put more focus on endurance. Hopefully that will help with motivation. Keep up the great work Andy. Any problems let me know.

Recoveries:
120s for 5 min reps
60s for 1 min reps
Another big session here. This is where the magic happens, work hard, hit those paces and you’re going to make some serious gains.
Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.
