Keeping those easy runs slow is going to be a big challenge but it’s important as we make more adaptations running a slower pace. Check out my latest post on the tips page for why. Sunday is a good chance to practice your target pace for Worthing and dial in that HM pace. Any problems let me know. But the focus should be on slow and easy Tuesday and Wednesday, then save the hard work for Sunday. Let’s make this a strong week.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Trust your PT.
Always explain to your PT what else you are doing this week so they can adjust the session accordingly.

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
1km @ Half Marathon Pace (RPE: 5-8)

2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
This is one my favourite half marathon sessions. Hopefully goal pace will feel comfortable, until those last 3-4 reps when you’ll need to work hard. If it goes well this will give you a big confidence boost for race day, knowing the pace is achievable.
