With the hills, I’ve found half marathon pace is the best we can hope for here, but obviously that will fluctuate greatly depending on the section you are on. Dig deep up the hills and focus on good form.
Tough race this one and why there are only 2 runs in the plan. We need to respect the difficult of the challenge here and be well rested. Target times are tough here given the route, if you can get close to half marathon pace come the end, you’ve run a really good race. Plus given a target pace is pointless when 90% of the time you’ll be running either quicker down the hills or slower up the hills. I ran by best race here when I tried to keep my RPE consistent, so that meant slowing down up the hills but also pushing the pace on the downhill and the flats. Good luck Sue. Go smash(it).
