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.

Love the fact you’ve adapted so quickly to the easier pace and lower heart rate. This is exactly what we want from these runs and you’ll get fitter as a result. Well done Iain.

60 mins 3 secs. 6.26 miles. 138 bpm. 9.35 av pace. Mile 1: 9.33. Mile 2: 9.32. Mile 3: 9.34. Mile 4: 9.35. Mile 5: 9.45. Mile 6: 9.35. Mile 6.26: 9.29
Loving this drop in pace and as you can see that HR is nicely under the 140. That’s the level you are going to be get maximum aerobic gains from this type of run so absolutely perfect and a real beneficial change to way you are training now. Great work Iain.

51pts | 15 x 1km (HM)

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

1km @ Half Marathon Pace (RPE: 5-8)
120s Recovery
x 15

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.

The hotel had some tracks which I thought would be more enjoyable and also gym didn’t open until 7.30 which wasn’t ideal. Therefore I went back to trying to run the mile version of the run, 1m slow then 2 mile faster. With a mixed terrain (some very uneven) and undulation (total ascent 441m) it was slower and tough. Much harder than a normal HM. Will send through some screenshots on WhatsApp.
Sometimes it’s about making the best out of the situation and looking at the stats you sent over you were working at the right level. I wouldn’t worry too much about pace. Worthing will allow you to hit a far more consistent pace, the fact you were working hard here for an extended period is the most important thing. Great work Iain.
