I’ve taken the training right up to the end of the year. The mileage seems to be a little bigger, averaging around the 45km mark, the biggest week is 55 but that’s towards the end of the plan.

With the 10ks quite squashed together I’ve kept those weeks lighter in terms of volume and hopefully that will leave you fresh for the race days.

You’re there. We don’t need to change anything. You just need some luck with the conditions.

I’ve added in some bigger 10k sessions, which I think will be more beneficial that tempo runs. So I’m hoping that will help too.

I think taking as much of your holiday off is a good idea, as you’ve not had a break for a while, so I’ve only squeezed in a few easy 10ks whilst you’re away. Assuming you don’t over consume 🙄 you should still return in good shape ready to hit those 3 10ks hard.

The one questions is, has the flexibility improved? That was deemed the weakness at the start of the plan, have we done enough to improve that? I stretch daily now and I’m convinced it’s made a big difference, keeping the niggles at bay and making me that little bit quicker.

I’ve added a similar stretching routine to what I do each evening, the more often you can do that the better.
