A much lighter week in between the two half marathons. But try and get all the sessions done if you can. I will see you Tuesday for a decent hill session, although if you still feel tired from the Eastbourne half marathon, then don’t be afraid to rest up instead.

Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. This session is tough but will really help you make big gains. Use the downhill as a light recovery jog, so exact recovery times can be flexible.
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.
