My excitement levels are through the roof right now. I cannot wait for Sunday. I think in the build up, keep it light, only 1 S&C and perhaps Steve’s gang on Friday just to keep the legs moving. But we want to be fresh come Sunday. Chichester was fun right, and this is just a longer slower version of that. Running with myself, Lou and a few others have already said they are going to join us. Nerves are still normal, but you can just run and let me take care of the rest. The simple thought is if you cross the line before me, you will get sub 2. And also, it’s still not the primarily goal of this plan, so it’s not an all or nothing race. So that can take some pressure off too.

So slightly more challenging and time consuming. To save time you can superset some exercises. What does that mean? Well rather than having 60 seconds recovery after your Kettlebell Swings, use that 60 seconds to do the Farmers Walk. And then go back to the Kettlebell Swings again. So you’d alternative 2 exercises and once, then have a short break before doing the same again. It saves as much as 15 mins that you’d otherwise just be standing around. Any issues let me know.
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.
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.
