I’m really pleased with how this block has gone and have seen some really good signs of progress. So it’s important to give yourself that boost and confident self talk ahead of Sunday. It’s such a great event to be part of, and having not run it for 2 years, I’m just grateful that I’m in a position to run. It’s a good attitude to have rather than worrying about times and pace. Go out there, give it your best shot and enjoy the experience. You got this Jo!

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.
45 Mins @ Varied Intensity (RPE: 3-9)
A great way to get the heart pumping to some banging tunes. Have fun 😁

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.
