Big taper week again of Brighton. So we cut right back. You can swap parkrun for Tuesday efforts if you prefer? Same pts really and would keep the routine similar. I like a quick parkrun near race day as it can sharpen you up and take advantage of your good fitness levels, but entirely up to you. Let me know if you do want to switch. So close now, exciting few weeks ahead. Keep up the great work Karl.

Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.

👍
Yeah looked really strong tonight. Glad you came along rather than parkrun as feel you get more out of these sessions than you do when attempting a fast parkrun. Excited to see what happens next week at Brighton. You got this. Believe in yourself.

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.

👍 Normally I would have went out in the rain but thought I would take it easy and do a run in the gym. No strides this week, but I did do my usual gym session on Thursday.
It was like a defining moment. Me being an absolute idiot heading out of the gym into the rain and you go the other direction. Almost felt it should be an advert for making smart choices with the tag line “be like Karl”. I wish I did the same in truth. Smart choice. No worries about the strides. Add an extra 10 mins somewhere and that will make up for it.

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.

Good run to finish the week. Did an extra 10 mins at the end.
That extra 10 mins nudged you over the 95% mark for the week, so great work Karl. Thanks for listening and trusting the plan too, important to ease back 7 days before a big race. 15weeks in a row you’ve hit your targets as well, which is bloody brilliant. Really impressed. Now time to cash in that hard work, either at Brighton or Paddock Wood. This plan does conclude Sunday, but I can role over another week and just make sure you don’t do much between those two races.
