140 Minute Long Run

LOAD: 430

140 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-6)

Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.

No need to push the pace here but good to get some solid miles bank. Plenty of time still between this and MK and it’s the longest run you’ll do before. I’m happy the previous fitness will still be there. No more than 15 miles please.

PACE

Started with Hastings runners group, but the pace was dropping below nine minute miles and if I’m honest felt unnatural and frustrating and the pace was slowing but I’m aware I have to give a little, but don’t want to get injured dropping cadence of form or keep looping back . So at 8 miles went off with Kev Davis and completed the half marathon. Easing below 8 minute miles and having a conversation throughout. Did an extra mile and half on my own and had it in my mind not to go over 15 so did 14.6 which felt good, over 1000 feet of elevation felt strong.

Really pleased this went well in the end as I know you were a little anxious. It’s important to be selfish sometimes and it does sound you made the right choice to peel off and pick the pace up a little. A really good sign the fitness is still there though, a great weekend overall. Well done Jack.
