I’ve snuck in an extra run this week at the expense of an S&C. But Sunday’s run is only 2 hours with some marathon pace throw in again. Any problems though let me know. Keep up the great work Manami.
Just an opportunity to get some more miles in at marathon pace and really dial those splits in. Come race day we want marathon pace to feel comfortable.
I’m glad doing this session today. My knee hip and ankle are happy 🙆♀️ I enjoyed it. Thank you Simon for the quick change 🙏
Anytime and well done for listening to your body. Coach Simon 🍊
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
I listened to my body yesterday but I did a stupid mistake. I had a good opportunity to run around beautiful Pett and I did run on uneven sea wall and steep hills (I couldn’t avoid it) now my hip is hurting a bit. I’ll rest a day and see how it feels.
Better to make the mistake now than in 8 weeks time. But yes that sea wall isn’t much fun. Hope you feel better soon. Coach Simon 🍊

A good opportunity to practice some marathon pace on your long run. Crucial if you have a time in mind. Also sometimes a good option to add some variety to a normal 2 hour long run.
Worried about my hip so I decided to go for a flat route and it was so enjoyable. 20 minutes intervals were so good. 2hours had gone quickly
Good decision to pick a flat route. London is a flat marathon so there’s no need to be smashing out hills in these target paced sessions. As you said, the time can go much quicker when you break it down into 20 min segments. Well done Manami. Coach Simon 🍊
