Much like a marathon it’s important to taper so we strip it right back this week to make sure you are well rested and fresh for race day. But we still have the quality in there which is key. Any problems let me know. Hopefully see you at track on Monday.
It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
60 Mins @ Varied Intensity (RPE: 3-9)
A great way to get the heart pumping to some banging tunes. Have fun 😁
90 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

60 Mins Swimming @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 60 minute swim replaces an easy run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.
