I worked out I’ve got 19 of my team running marathons over the next 3 weeks, only 1 of them has had to defer due to a niggle, the other 18 are primed to run strong races. A stat I am incredibly proud of and I am so excited to see how you all fare. This is the lightest week of the plan, so enjoy the deload and there is the option to move a few things around. The hard work has been done, now just time to finish the job off.

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Switched my easy run & marathon pace run around as it was warm this evening so thought Iโ€™d get more out of this one.
Felt really good throughout & very comfortable once again.
Legs felt good during strides so pleased overall.
That’s cool. Happy to make that switch. Glad you enjoyed it and felt strong. The team as a whole are so well prepared for the upcoming marathons. I’m very happy.

*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.

A decent workout covering all the fundamental movement patterns & key muscles groups. Let me know if anything feels too easy or too difficult.

Good interval session on the bike, heart rate up & down so working hard.
Strength workout completed & no issues at all.
Well done with your 5k, great run.
Great work James. And thank you. I really didn’t know what to expect having done such little mileage and speed work, but I felt great. Excited to get back to it now and hoping a slight tweak in my approach will allow me to bank a few more PBs over the next 12 months.

Just an opportunity to get some more miles in at marathon pace and really dial those splits in.

Enjoyed this one, felt much better than the 40 min one last week. Felt good in the middle when I settled into it.
Last 10 mins a little tougher as turned into the wind but didnโ€™t feel tough.
Pleased with it & home much my pace has moved on over the weeks. Not sure if I will but would it matter if Sunday moved to Saturday to do parkrun as part of it?
Nice pace. Looked really positive on Strava, consistent HR too which is very pleasing. I’ve moved the weekend run, good idea to include parkrun. Awesome work James.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Legs felt good for the whole run, kept it nice & easy.
Finished with parkrun. Now to prepare for next weekend.
So glad to hear. A few struggled at Brighton in the wind, but of my 10 that did, marathons or ultras this weekend, 8 were very happy with their results, which is pleasing for me. Again, a hopefully a confidence boost next week will be a success. A sensible week at this stage of the plan.
