It’s all about Sunday. What a week. To come into the event with your endurance better than ever before must feel great? We know you can comfortably cover the distance now and 3 weeks out from Brighton you can push as much as you want to bank a good time here. In fact I would actively encourage it to nudge the fitness up another level. Any issues let me know, but a great work for every runner from Hastings.

Recoveries: 120 Secs for the 12 mins, 60 Seconds for the 1 min reps.
A really good session to do as a group the week in the lead up to a half marathon. It gives you an opportunity to run a few miles at goal pace and also get some speed in the legs. Be sure to stick to HM pace though, any quicker and it defies the object of the session and you will be tired on race day.
*Need to do the reps on both legs (double the amount)
**2 sets of dumbbells, one in each hand.
You can superset two exercises together. I’ve tried to set it up like that. So you would do 15 reps of deadlifts, straight into 10 reps of Tricep Dips, and then repeat 3 times. Helps save on recoveries and can make the session shorter. It’s not essential, but an option.

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.
