All about Saturday’s big session. An absolute beaut and the last big marathon paced session before Brighton. Make it count. I’ve left track out due to the fact you did TWells the day before. Only do the hills Tuesday if you feel recovered in time, if not switch it for some more easy miles. Any problems let me know, but keep up the great work Matt.

Single Leg Deadlift

Calf Raises

3 x 30

Wall Sits

3 x 60s

Bent Knee Calf Raises

3 x 30

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

Well done Matt

Credit TRC for this one. Imperative to stick to half marathon pace in that first 15 minute tempo. Otherwise you’ll be too fatigued to hit target 5k pace in the shorter reps.

Excellent work Matt. A quality session this one

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.

Done. A bit longer if i am honest as i was also helping a friend in his preperation for hhm.
No worries. If you can let me know how much extra you do that will help with the plan.

A great marathon sessions to practice goal pace. As the session progresses that RPE will creep up and you’ll have to work hard in the last 5km block.

Done. Last km was a bit of a struggle compared to a fortnight ago. Strangely, recovered a lot quicker and didnt feel it later in the day
Huge session. So really well done Matt. Feel like you’re in a great place right now with Brighton edging closer. Awesome work

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Done. Happy with how body felt. Absolutely love the picture for next weeks 200 min run. :)
Great to see the recovery is so quick πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I had to go and check the photo to see which ones it was. I’ve had lots of long runs like that down the years. That’s how I felt this Saturday too. Another brilliant week though Matt, takes you back up to 100% overall training (for the data collected) which in a marathon block is superb.
