😁 Good pace given the conditions/route

PACE

This was not my scheduled long run – coach has given the OK for a ‘whatever you can manage’ sort of scheme as I am off to Chester in a bit. Having not done anything remotely speedy for weeks, I thought I’d do a short hill rep session, living close to the West Hill. I did 8 hill reps during some loops on the hill and put as much effort as I could into each ascent, keeping good form. I felt more springy and motivated and found that massaging the back of my legs helped get rid of the lingering DIY-induced pains. All good, I hope this little session will count for something!

Well done Sarah, in terms of training points there’s not a massive difference between what you did here and the 100 min long run. For me, I want you all to be happy and enjoying your running, so I’m always open to flexible plans and adaptation when need be. Obviously the less of that we do the more likely we are to stay on track, but come the end of the week I still want my runners to be smiling rather than looking back and thinking, crikey that was horrible. I hope you have a fantastic time in Chester. We have just booked our train tickets for the marathon weekend. Very excited now.
