Slight tweak on some of the training paces and the weekend session is a key one. Hitting that 4:22/km pace for 1km reps should feel relatively comfortable. The last few might be tough. I did this session about 2 weeks out from my last half marathon race and once I found my flow it dawned on me “you know what, this pace isn’t too bad” and that’s the idea, a confidence boost you can hit this pace at a controlled effort. Some quicker reps at track too.

Credit TRC for this one. Imperative to stick to half marathon pace in that first 15 minute tempo. Otherwise you’ll be too fatigued to hit target 5k pace in the shorter reps.

Happy enough with that session. HM and 5k paces just about spot on.
Looked like you were working hard and hitting some good splits. Nice to have Kev along too as you two can feed off each other in terms of pacing. Safe travels Steve and have a lovely time on your holiday.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate. Don’t forget your strides. Very important. 30-60 seconds recovery between strides.

A few twists and turns needed to build up the route but nice to run in the early morning sunshine
Must have been lovely. We had a bit of warmer weather here, double figures I believe, but obviously nothing like you’ll be experiencing. Enjoy and well done for getting the run done Steve.

Likely your heart rate will climb as you run up the hills, so don’t worry too much about drifting into Zone 3 for the hills, try and keep the rest in Zone 2.

No available hills so substituted for a run on the beach on mostly soft sand. Harder work than I thought it would be!
Makes sense. Nice to run on the sand, but yes imagine it wasn’t easy. Well done Steve.

This is one my favourite half marathon sessions. Hopefully goal pace will feel comfortable, until those last 3-4 reps when you’ll need to work hard. If it goes well this will give you a big confidence boost for race day, knowing the pace is achievable.

Very happy with that. Stepped it up for the last 5 x 1k to around 10k pace.
Love that. It’s a good session this one and makes HM feel relatively comfortable and should be a nice confidence boost. Love the fact the pace finished stronger. Bonus pts for that. Awesome work Steve. 141pts for the week. Best total to date.
