There’s a good local race this week if you fancy it? Rye 10. There will be quite a lot of the team taking part. It’s very tough, lots of hills, including some brutes, but good from a training point of view. We would ditch the long run and the tempo session if you did fancy giving it a go. Myself and Jax will be out there marshalling. Any issues with the plan just shout. Keep smashing it Glenn.

Working on our arms as runners is mainly superficial in truth, in the sense it won’t improve our running much but can help with confidence. Who doesn’t want bigger guns? This session should take no more than 30 mins, combine 2 exercises together (superset) to reduce the total time.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. This session is tough but will really help you make big gains. Use the downhill as a light recovery jog, so exact recovery times can be flexible.

Really good, tough session. Managed to keep up with Conal for the most part which can only be a good thing
Great work. You know you are doing something right if you are able to keep up with Conal. Good to get some hills in ahead of Sunday

*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.

All good
great stuff Glenn

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.

No issues. On to Sunday!
Bring on those hills ๐Ÿ’ช

WU is key. CD not as important, but if you have done a fast 10 miles it’s recommended. Also if going for a quick one including drills and strides (4 bonus pts) is worth while too.

Knowing your goal pace beforehand is important and ensuring you don’t go off too quick is crucial. Obviously that will be determined by the elevation of the route. But I’m always happy to discuss pacing strategies and race tactics beforehand.

Good Luck!! You got this ๐Ÿ’ช

1:17:49 Hills were a killer ๐Ÿ™‚
Yeah it’s not easy that one ๐Ÿ˜‚ Have you done a 10 mile race before? If not that’s a PB!! ๐Ÿฅณ A very good time on that course though, so well done Glenn
