No rest for the wicked. Two really good sessions this week. Always love the 20 x 1s. You don’t have to go crazy, just be consistent and work at a decent cadence. Sunday we put in the first big marathon session of the block. Hopefully after Goodwood it will feel comfortable. Recovery week coming up, if you are very tired after the half we could take it early. See how the legs feel come Tuesday, keep up the great work though Iain.
Coach Simon🍊
If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.
Trust your PT.
Always explain to your PT what else you are doing this week so they can adjust the session accordingly.
