It’s getting tough, busy schedule, so any problems let me know. Tuesday will be the group session and very focused on prep for the handicap race. Saturday perhaps even a chance to pace at parkrun and do a tempo based run. Then the easy runs, don’t be afraid to slow them down a touch, sometimes it feels the pace of those is a little quick, especially the long run Sunday, all about time on feet and practicing refuelling. Keep up the great work Michael

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

Busy day travelling from Download to Uni then to London for hospital appointments but no training so yes a restvday.
Sensible to get some rest given how busy you were.

Zone 2: Easy

Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.

Done Thursday morning Good session, felt OK but fitness is lacking so hopefully will build up over the next 12 weeks ready for September
I don’t believe you are that far off, it probably feels like that right now but it can click into place pretty quickly and wasn’t long ago you were smashing out sub 100 min half marathons on an almost weekly basis. Keep the faith, be consistent and that fitness will return. 5k pace isn’t as important for the marathon either which is good. Well done on getting a tough session completed.

Done Friday morning A little bit busier than normal but still got the S&C and stair climber dine
Great work Michael. I’ve yet to go there during the week early, but imagine it does get quite busy. As long as those stairs are free that is what matters to most.

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.

Dropped this week as messaged
No worries. Important to listen to the body when it’s telling you to rest.

A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.

No worries.

All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.

Done Saturday to avoid the rising temperatures, still warm though! Pleased with the pace and distance.
Great to see you and an excellent job covering that distance on a warm day. Thank god it was a little bit cooler.
