Training plans are really like a puzzle, knowing where to put the sessions in order to ensure we get the best out of them, but also to incorporate enough rest. We need to respect the fact you did a half marathon on the Sunday and drop back the target this week, it might be you need even more rest which I’d be happy for you to take in truth. But we still want to bank some decent mileage, hence the long run, and doing that on tired (ish) legs is never a bad thing in a marathon block, so long as the foot is ok. Any problems just let me know.

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

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Super simple session and a chance to get some half marathon paced miles in, but not overdo it.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.
140 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-6)
Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.
See how you fair with this session for now and we can always make some changes. It’s a strong all round workout that covers all fundamental movement patterns along with all the key muscle groups. If there is any area you feel is particularly weak and needs work I can add different exercises in. I like to keep the S&C simple and those that have stuck to their routines and not made continual changes have made real progress.
