10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
13.1 Miles @ HM Pace (RPE: 6)
The big one!! For most of us at least. Try to have a clear pacing strategy and don’t go off too fast. The early hills will be tough, but if you dig deep and don’t panic, it’s gets easier once you hit the ridge. Go smash it!
Really pleased you are going to be doing this. I won’t set any targets for this one as the training has been a bit disjointed. The best advice I can give is don’t be afraid to walk some of the hills, even early in the race. This will conserve energy for later on in the race. If you need a few other walking breaks, give yourself 30s and then go again. That’s always a good strategy to adopt. Very best of luck and enjoy.
