Tuesday evening with the team is a prep session for the handicap race. Easy Horntye run Wednesday. parkrun Saturday just put in a solid HM tempo run, you might need to do a little bit before hand to hit the 30 mins, and Sunday with the gang, but keep it super light with Tuesday coming up. Any problems just shout.
Coach Simon๐
Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.
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.
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.
Should feel relatively comfortable this, but always good to get some extra miles in at goal pace.
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.
