An exciting week with the race at the end. And looking forward to seeing how you do. Obviously conditions likely to play their part so my advice would be head to this one and treat it as a free hit. Don’t get too caught up in chasing time. The goal is York, this is just a stepping stone towards that. So keep it sensible early doors and just give it your all. If you want to discuss pacing we can. I like the taper session in the week as that always sets you up for a decent half. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Iain.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

6.3 miles. 131 av bpm. 1 hour 5 secs. Av pace 9.32, ranging from 9.15 to 9.45. Felt quite tired.
Nice stats, perfectly in the right zone. Hopefully a couple of good nights sleep will do the trick before Sunday. Well done though Iain

Half Taper Session

Half Taper Session

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

5km @ Half Marathon Pace
(RPE: 6)
3 minutes recovery

5 x 200 metres @ Target Time (RPE: 9)
60 second recoveries

2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

A really good session to do the week of a half marathon. A chance to practice race pace at a lower volume and get some speed in the legs.

Tough going. 7.13m. Av bpm 148. 59 mins 53 secs. Av pace 8.24 p/m. The HM pace for 5k was doable but tough. The higher RPE 200m reps were tough, couldnโ€™t quite get up to the required pace. Legs generally feeling quite tired.
It’s definitely not an easy session, but sounds like you did well. Let’s keep an eye on the fatigue factor. If we need a little bit of extra rest after Sunday then that would be the time to use it. Hopefully the rest between the race now will help. But excellent work Iain.

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.

Will send feedback on WhatsApp, as easier for a race
Thanks Iain. I think we can put that down as a real success given the conditions and hopefully some good lessons learned. All being well at Goodwood you should find that a lot easier having now tackled this heat. Hope the trip was an enjoyable one?
