So this was going to be a rest week initially so really see anything we achieve this week as a positive and a catch up. Any problems let me know. I might be doing 100 mins Saturday (not sure yet where that will be), but might be a chance to run together at your HM pace and tweak the session slightly. Let me know if that sounds of interest. I’ve left efforts out just to give you enough rest after the 10k.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.
Coach Simon🍊 “Make a note of RPM & the resistance level so you can increase them as you do more sessions.” Recoveries in between intervals are the same as the effort. So 30 and 60 seconds easy pace.

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

120s Recovery

2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
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.
120 Mins @ Easy RPM (RPE: 2)
Important to get some decent time on the bike given on race day that will be your longest discipline.
It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.
