Another good week. We’ll be back at the same location (unless stated otherwise) on Tuesday evening for the speed session. It’s a tough one, but no need to go quicker than your 5k pace here. Then it’s quite a bit step up for the Sunday run, but there should be a group going if you fancied joining them. It’s early at 8am but it’s much easier doing a long run with others and can help keep the pace down. Any problems let me know.

*Recoveries: 2 Mins Between All Reps
Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate. Don’t forget your strides. Very important. 30-60 seconds recovery between strides.

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
