10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

There are 3 sections to this race. Kms 1-3 mainly downhill and flat. You’ll be under goal pace but be sure not to go too fast, you’ll need to conserve energy for the hills between 4-6km. This is when you’ll be working really hard, but dig deep, once you reach the main road it gets easier and you’ll get a 2nd wind.

The final stretch is flat, but still a grind. The finish down the high street is the best part so try and save some energy for a strong finish.

A really enjoyable race but also quite demanding in the middle. I would predict yourself, Mark and Sue A are all very similar right now. If you can run together and offer each other that support up the hills that would be a good strategy. Mark is particular good at maintaining a consistent pace up the hills so he would be a good person to run with.

Would have been a 10 for enjoyment if it wasn’t for the heat. Legs felt great, breathing was good just overheated. Walked small parts of the hills that had no shade but over all felt strong and can’t quite believe in the space of 3 weeks Iv managed to shave over a minute off of my Barry time! 1hr4mins 36 seconds!! Just under target 🏃‍♀️ 💨 💨💨💨 Next year we are going for sub 1hr! 💪

Bring it on. Sub 60 mins next year. Love the ambition. This is great feedback too, loads of the team struggled in the heat, so really strong to hit the target, and as you said, so early in the plan. Keep doing what you are doing and so much to look forward to. Fabulous running Jodie.
