We did have 26km at marathon pace in the plan. One thought I had was 5km before the race at MP? But then logistically this would be a nightmare at PW as it’s really congested near the start, so I think you’re better off running this as a half marathon. There’s plenty of pacers. 1:45 and 1:50 (if you wanted to be more cautious). But Royal Parks last October shows your capable of the quicker time if you wanted to have a crack at the PB. We’ve got a lighter week on the schedule next week as well which would help if you wanted to go for a fast one. Happy to discuss. Keep it easy in the build up though so you are well rested for Sunday.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.
