130 Min Long Run

LOAD: 390

130 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-5)

Pushing beyond that 2 hour barrier is a good mental win. Important to be fuelling and staying hydrated on these runs.

I think mentally if we can go beyond the 21.1km it just makes us feel more prepared for Bewl. Hence why the 130 mins are important. I have altered the plan slightly from what it originally said as I think it makes it much easier for you to run with Paul’s group doing this routine.

PACE

This was tough – a LOT of climbing around Crowhurst on Paul’s route (I did 313m) and loopbacks made me slower than anticipated, but I added a little on when others stopped until my watch showed 2’10 – and was pleasantly surprised at the pace (5’40). Note: I am getting right heel pain which, I suspect, is plantar fasciitis… but I am managing this and have bought rollers etc. Will keep you posted if I feel I need to pull out.

That horrible phrase. I hate that. All i would say is myself and a few of the team in the past have been quick to jump to that conclusion, I think simply because it scares us and we assume to worst. In my instance 8 days rest did the job. I always say if the pain gets over the 4/10 mark then it’s time to rest. But hopefully, given we’ve been pretty smart with the training, it will be ok. Perhaps it is simply the recent introduction of more trails that has brought on the problem? All those uneven landings and what not. Something to bear in mind. Fingers crossed though and well done on this run Neil.
