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.

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.
*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.
Coach Simon๐ “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.
Just an opportunity to get some more miles in at marathon pace and really dial those splits in.
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.
