50 Mins Run
Zone 2: Easy
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
180!!! 🎯 Pts on the table this week. Tuesday, now you have a motor, if you wanted to join a few of us in the park we are doing a decent session, or of course there is the handicap in your neck of the woods. Keep the rest easy with a session Sunday designed to help you run well at both the Bewl 15 and Pier to Pier in the next 4 weeks. Any issues just shout. Given the heat, and if the body does want more rest, ditch one of the easy runs. Keep smashing it Joe.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
I’m a big fan of consistent splits. With any race avoiding getting swept away with the crowds is key, so focus on that early pace and hold back, settle into a rhythm. Km 4 is often the hardest, so zone in on 4 and dig deep. You got this!
Crammed a bit more into 1 session here but now you’ve got a lot of good stuff in there. Hopefully it’s ok?
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Keep that heart rate in Zone 2. You might feel like RPE is higher, as it’s a tough exercise, but a good opportunity to really improve your aerobic engine without the heavy impact of running.

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.

A really big marathon session. Probably the largest goal paced session you will do in the build up to your race. Practicing goal pace in training is key if you are going to hit your targets on race day. Dig deep, this will be tough.
