This is the key week when it comes to resting, so whilst you probably feel good and want to run. Don’t. Still some good sessions in there with some speed, but we want to rest up too.
Maintaining your current 5k pace will get progressively more challenging as a session unfolds. So breaking it down in this nature should allow you to maintain that pace for the whole session.
Did this Monday evening so I can run without rain Wednesday morning. 7’18” pace, so not hard but hard enough into the wind.
Rather than just head out and do 60 mins easy, this goes through the gears a little and will hopefully help you improve running economy as the speed picks up a little. It’s still a light session but makes the easy runs more interesting. Best done on the flat to hit consistent paces.
Good progression but hard into the wind. Wednesday morning.
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
Very gentle, ending with an easy park run with Matt Button. Didn’t want to run any faster. Then jogged home. Might do Tuesday’s run on Sunday as busyish next week. Then Friday’s run midweek. Lots of rest.
Well done Conal. Yes the more rest the better! Good to see you Matt and Jimmy running together Coach Simon 🍊
