The last big week of this plan and then the taper kicks in. So work hard this week in the knowledge the hard work is almost complete. You’ve absolutely smashed it. A decent week with a mixture of paces, but no need to be pushing too hard right now. Any problems let me know, but keep up the great work James.

*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.

Coach Simon๐ŸŠ “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.

Had to move a few things about this week as Iโ€™m away with work for a few days but should be all ok
Good different ride this morning, doing a climb ride so focus a bit more on power.
Legs felt well recovered after the weekend.
I panicked slightly when I had seen you’d missed one lot of feedback. But glad all is ok. Great work James.

RPE: 5

Rather than just head out and do 60 mins easy, this goes through the gears a little and will hopefully help you improve running economy as the speed picks up a little. It’s still a light session but makes the easy runs more interesting. Best done on the flat to hit consistent paces.

Was good to get out again, run felt good & hit targets.
Happy with pacing marathon pace felt a little tougher than expected but was into the wind for the whole interval.
Strength workout felt good.
Pacing was good. Any session where you need to go through the paces, the last one often feels tougher. I’ve experienced that with this session and you then think, wow that was only 20 minutes. I wouldn’t worry, it just feels faster as you start much slower. But another strong day of training, great work James

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Practicing goal race pace is essential, especially for a half marathon. It’s important we hit our targets in training so on race day it feels achievable.

Really enjoyed this run & pleased with my pace. Only started to fell tough for the last 5 mins but worked hard though out.
Been a while holding that sort of pace for that long so happy with it.
Superb work James and the benefit of a session like this at this stage is when we pick up that marathon pace again it should feel easier. That’s the logic. But great that you felt so strong.

Strength session done before the run, felt good.
Nice easy parkrun which was windy in places but legs felt good ahead of tomorrows run.
Excellent work and so pleased all is going well at this stage of the block. Well done James

A good session early in a marathon plan to practice running at goal pace. Each 5k block will get progressively harder in terms of a higher heart rate and RPE, pace should be the same throughout the 5k reps.

Really pleased with this run & felt better the longer it went on.
First 5k was the toughest & each one felt better. Felt really good cardio wise when finished & easily had a couple more in tank.
Good end to the week especially with 4 days in row.
It’s great to hear. I had another of my marathon runners do the exact same session and the feedback was similar. At this point of the plan it’s a confidence boost to know marathon pace can feel easy over a decent distance. Fantastic work James.
