Great way to finish this plan (let me know if you’re keen to kick on and continue to progress with a new plan). Tuesday efforts, Wednesday easy and then the Pier to Pier. Lots to look forward to. Any issues just let me know. Keep up the great work Martin.

A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. We want to be ahead of our current 5k pace though. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.

Good fun that session. Bit quicker than the 5k and 3k paces but need to get quicker right?
Glad you enjoyed it, looked strong. In terms of pacing, it depends what approach we take. Last night I tweaked the pace target partly because so many of us are doing Pier to Pier and the originally session would have taken it’s toll. But running the reps slightly slower with less recovery actually reduces the HR and RPE. Thus making it a threshold session. We won’t do many of these, because the methods I’ve used to date work, as you’ve proved, so I don’t mind the slightly quicker pace here. Certainly earned your pts as a result. Great job Martin.

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.

All done inc strides. Legs tired afger yesterday but felt strong
Great work Martin, good to see you. Running on tired legs from time to time is good training in truth. Come kms 20 on Sunday that’s exactly how the legs are going to feel.

The Pier to Pier. What a race. Unless you are really pushing for a quick time, in which case, go hard early (need to be well trained for this strategy), my advice is slowly build the pace and work your way through the Zones. But you certainly don’t want to be quicker than half marathon pace until late in the race.
