40 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

8 x 100 metre Strides (RPE: 8)
60 Second Recoveries

Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will full short of your weekly targets.

FEEDBACK

ENJOYMENT

RPE

😬 Too fast

PACE

Cannot get the pace down, other than through fatigue. Garmin says 7.20k in 37.35, so 5.13 pace. Hot, so it was a struggle.

😂 It is do-able. I think the important thing to grasp is that there are actually physiological adaptations that happen when we run at a low heart rate that don’t occur when we are going too quick. So by going faster we could be missing out on key benefits that we would be getting by running easier. That’s why it’s so encouraged in the whole running world. There should be zero fatigue in truth on a 40 minute run and you should finish like you could carry on running for another 60-90 mins at that pace. I actually finished my marathon Sunday and felt fine, like I could just keep running. And the reason for that was my pace was never quicker than 5:30 per km.
