The 150 mins represents HHM. But only do that if you are comfortable entering. If not we can finish this plan with a 2 hour run instead. But it would be great if you could take part. Forget the time, walk some of the hills if you need to, but it would just be nice to be part of such a brilliant event. I know there’s quite a few of my team going for around 150 mins so an opportunity to run with them if you wanted. Let me know your plans and I can easily change it up.
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 said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
A good workout that will cover all the fundamental movement patterns and key muscle groups in the legs.

All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.
