12 minutes. That’s all it takes. 30s recovery between reps.
I appreciate we might need to reschedule some runs this week. I’ve got the two parkruns in there, both at differing paces. Some of us are heading up to Staplehurst to do the EOY 10 Miler which could be an option and would be a natural replacement for the session I have put on Sunday. Let me know if you need to change things up. There are also effort sessions Monday and Tuesday if you have the availability and fancied that. Not sure what AC are doing but we roll right through. Merry Christmas Chris ๐

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
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.

A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.
