A great marathon sessions to practice goal pace. As the session progresses that RPE will creep up and you’ll have to work hard in the last 5km block.
Biggest run of the plan and in fact the first person to do this session. But if you can hit 25km at sub 3 pace (hold yourself back from going quicker) then Stockholm is looking good. The reason you don’t want to go quicker is we are smashing this out closer to race day that I would like, but that was partly due to the short turnaround and because we had the 10k last week. So whilst you want to build confidence here you don’t want to run your best here and then not being able to replicate it on race day. So save a bit if you can.
