So I’ve put 40 min at MP for Tuesdays run, albeit it was a bit quicker than that. For Wednesday I would like you to try and slow down. If we keep the effort easy you’re actually getting more benefits that running quicker. It might be tough at first but long term by slowing the easy runs down you will become fitter and a better runner.
Each Sunday before Worthing we will smash out a HM session, so come the 3rd May that pace will feel comfortable and looking at your recent runs, if conditions are good on the day, no reason you can’t be challenging a PB there. Any questions just ask. No question is too silly.
Coach Simon๐
Just an opportunity to get some more miles in at marathon pace and really dial those splits in. Come race day we want marathon pace to feel comfortable.
Trust your PT.
Always explain to your PT what else you are doing this week so they can adjust the session accordingly.
If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
A total of 13 miles, so you cover the distance of a half marathon, but only 6 of those miles are at your target pace. A good chance to get some miles in at goal pace. Adds some variety to your long run as well. If the route isn’t flat or conditions are challenging focus on RPE over pace. It’s not always essential to hit goal pace in these sessions. Obviously into a strong headwind you will be slower.
