10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
40 Mins @ HM-Marathon Effort (RPE: 6)
10 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Find a hilly route and push the pace a little. The uphills will naturally make the RPE increase. Try to attack the downhills as well, then ease off a touch on the flat. This is a session though so effort should be quite high during the 40 mins on.
Ultimately our training is to prepare us for our race day experiences. With Rye 10 the next challenge, putting in a hilly run like this should hopefully build your confidence. Try and imagine yourself doing the Rye 10 on this run, it’s a powerful mental tool, to get used to how race day will feel. Pace isn’t as important here as that will fluctuate quite a lot depending on the route you pick (happy to discuss and help pick a suitable route if need be).
