Welcome to the Team. Can’t ask for a better start than HHM week. Love it. I’m buzzing. I have put in track in as it’s a half marathon sessions so we won’t be doing much work at quick speed. Your HM pace around the track right now is about 1:38-1:40 so should feel like you are cruising, anything below that is too quick. Sunday. I still don’t know you that well, but based on what I have seen I think sub 90 mins is a comfortable and realistic target. My advice would be tuck in with the 90 min pacers. Let them do all the work for you, at least until you get to Ore, then if you feel strong you can pull away slightly. It’s so much easier running in a pack and letting someone do the work for you. If you have any questions about Sunday or the schedule this week just ask.
Recoveries: 120 Secs for the 12 mins, 60 Seconds for the 1 min reps.
A really good session to do as a group the week in the lead up to a half marathon. It gives you an opportunity to run a few miles at goal pace and also get some speed in the legs. Be sure to stick to HM pace though, any quicker and it defies the object of the session and you will be tired on race day.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.
