The last really long run before London. See how you feel. Don’t be afraid to cut it short and slowing down the pace can really help. It’s more a case of practicing fuelling again and wearing your race day kit if you can. Just to make sure there is no rubbing or chaffing. 3 rest days will hopefully help, but any problems let me know. Keep up the great work Manami. 4 weeks Sunday until the big day

A chance to get some important marathon paced miles in. Should feel relatively comfortable, but also like you are running with good form. If conditions are tough or hills are involved, focus on RPE rather than pace.
*reps/seconds on both sides
A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.
For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

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.

Time to make sure your fuelling and hydration is on point. 30-60g of carbs per hour. The longer the run goes on the tougher it will get.
