It’s pretty good news when a race falls on a recovery week as means the volume is reduced. Work hard Sunday and you’ll get some decent gains from that. Be smart with the hill you choose for Tuesday’s session. No more than 5 degrees of elevation as we want you to be able to complete each 2 minute rep with good form. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Andy.

Big session this! But ideal if you have a hilly race coming up. Focus on good form and don’t go off too hard in rep 1, let the hill make it tough. Good luck! You got this. Run tall & proud.

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.
“Easy means Easy! Not 5k pace, not 10k pace, not even marathon pace. Easy pace!! 😉”
Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.
Thank you.
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 💪
