Taper time. I get the impression you’ll want to do more this week. DON’T!! Over all the marathon plans I’ve done, those that respect the taper get the best results. I always think about Scrappy Do. “Let me at ’em”. And that’s how I want my runners to feel during the taper and on race day. You wanna run, but I hold you back, so when you cross that start line you’re primed to bash up the enemy. Any issues with the schedule let me know. Keep up the great work Lucy
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

Slowly adding time to your longer runs is the way forward. Keep the effort level down and continue to check in with your form.
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.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
