What a week to be a runner in Hastings. I can’t wait until Sunday, it’s going to be amazing. You’ve done so well on your comeback from injury and whilst it would be nice to continue to see that improvement on Sunday I think whatever happens we know you are still progressing. So try not to build it up too much in terms of target times. All that matters to me here is you go out, run strong and enjoy the race. Otherwise what is the point if we don’t enjoy it? Granted parts will be very tough, but overall the whole experience should be fun. Any issues with the schedule let me know. I could swap out a few of the leg exercises for some core work if you wanted?
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.
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.

I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load.

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.
