All about Sunday and whilst it’s not the main goal of this plan, you can certainly come into HHM knowing your endurance is better than it’s ever been, which should set you up really well for a strong race here. I’ll share some pacing strategies with the team in the build up to the race, but be sure to learn from the mistakes on T Wells and this will set you up for a really strong race here. Any problems with the schedule in the build up let me know. The taper session will be done at track and Tuesday evening if you can make either of those.

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.

Just noticed that i have gotten behind on filing in again. Sorry about that. I completed all of last week with no issues. Currently have no injuries. This session was done.
No worries Matt. I was about to message just to check in but glad you were able to catch up. Thanks for sticking to the plan as well (which I know you are great at), and lovely to hear you are feeling strong

Home Legs Workout

Home Legs Workout

Squats

3 x 15

Single Leg Deadlift

3 x 15

Calf Raises

3 x 30

Wall Sits

3 x 60s

Bent Knee Calf Raises

3 x 30

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

Done
Well done Matt!!

Zone 7: 3K

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.

Done. Thursday.
Well done Matt

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.
