Ignore the fact it says Marathon. I just don’t have an “Ironman” on my system. I think it’s safe to say the plan hasn’t always gone smoothly but I genuinely mean this when I say, I feel right now you’re in the best shape you have been at any stage we started working together. And that’s what training plans are there for, to hit your best shape in race week, I hope you agree that is the case. So no matter how what got to this point you’re in a position to go there and do yourself proud, perform well and hopefully have a wonderful weekend, creating lifetime memories. Any issues with the schedule just shout. You got this Mitch. I believe in you.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
120 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 1)
Cross training, including Cycling can help improve your cardio whilst reducing the impact. 2 hours cycling is worth around 40 mins of running.

We’ve made it. So exciting. The biggest mistake is going off too fast, know your pace and stick to it, even if it feels super easy. You’ve trained well, now just go and execute. Best of luck.
