A good week in that we step back from anything too brutal. The 2 x 30 mins at marathon pace should be a good one. Still a pretty tough week with a juicy target of 130pts, but not as bad as you’ve smashed out in recent weeks, so we know you can do this. Keep going Andy, 7 weeks until Paris.

A good 10k session. See if you can run that 2nd mile quicker than the first. Push the pace on the 60s to get more from this session.
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.

Another good variation to the 2 hour easy run. Marathon pace should feel fairly comfortable but you’ll need to focus on good form to run at this speed with a low RPE.
