After our little S&C discussion, turns out this week I’ve given you a break from squats and planks for focus on the running. It leaves us with a really good week including 2 quality sessions and one the big long runs in this plan. Don’t worry about pace for the 180 mins, you’ll hit the 20 miles next week when doing 5 x 5km at marathon pace. So keep it easy. On Tuesday we are doing 1km loops at the same location you came before (Ashford Road), so that is an alternative if you wanted to come and run with the team rather than solo. But any issues let me know. Next week is a recovery week too, so only 2 easy runs in the build up to Sunday’s key marathon session.

A good session to practice some HM pace, but also appreciate the variation between the speeds at different distances. Work hard, run tall, smile. You got this.

Done plus an extra 20mins run before at easy pace – I think an extra 6 points and 3 more than the original scheduled activity. Nice to do something with the group. Thanks
Was great to see a little group of you all running strong last night. But well done on sticking with your pacing and not letting them drag you into going too fast. Yes 3pts ahead of schedule so if you wanted to drop Saturday back to 30 and just do parkrun you can. Or a few extra is good too to push that % up slightly. To be honest your % is probably higher because the way it’s calculated needs tweaking. So you are probably closer to 95% than 90% and this is something I will calculate differently in the future just to ensure it’s correct. Another great session though.

A good session to mix up paces. WU & CD very important to slowly build the pace. A flat route is ideal here if you can.

Great work Chris. Big fan of this session!

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.

Just did 30mins as was already 3 points ahead and seemed sensible to save energy for Sunday
smart thinking

Time to make sure your fuelling and hydration is on point. 30-60g of carbs per hour. The longer the run goes on the tougher it will get.

Done. Tried to keep HR around 130 for the majority of the run
HR is an approach i like a lot for these easy/long runs, and 130 is a good place to be for such a long run. Well done Chris.
