Always a good week when you have a race like the 5 miler to look forward to, says the bloke marshalling (I ran a blinder last year so would be way off that). 20 x 1 min is back in and hopefully conditions will be better as I know you wanted to smash that one out of the park. Any issues let me know. I’ll put out a group post later in the week to discuss pacing for Sunday, although not much to say given the route is dead flat.

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

All done… decent pace in the heat and did not push too hard. Enjoyed that session.
Awesome work, sensible approach in those conditions and a decent pace. It’s about finding that right balance and knowing when to push, when to hold back slightly. You can always look at HR and pace data, compare it against your dashboard to see if you were working in the right zone.

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

All done legs felt a bit heavy after tuesday. Watch trick you taught me was helpful!!
Yeah that’s a good one. Basically for my run all I had on the screen was HR, nothing else. I hardly looked at my watch tbh as I knew without the alert I was in the right zone. With it being a group lead run you don’t even need to worry about how long you’ve been running for either. I would definitely recommend that approach. Great job Martin.

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

Zone 2: Easy

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

All done very easy running. Legs still felt a bit leggy so saturday rest welcomed.
Great work Martin. Liking the commitment to the plan and also the easy pace. Rest up Saturday. Enjoy the footy and see you Sunday.

10 Mins CD

Zone 2: Easy

5 miles is a really tough distance to get right. Rest assured, this is tough. The first mile is so important, don’t go off too quick and you’ll set yourself up for a strong race. Pace should be right at the top of your Zone 5, 10k target. Towards the end you’ll be working in Zone 6 though from an RPE and heart rate perspective.
