The HM Taper session has worked really well in the past and sets you up nicely for Sunday. Once I have details of our own plans I will pass that onto you and hopefully we can meet up post race somewhere. You’ve done some decent training in the past 3 weeks with plenty at HM pace so should be set up nicely to run a strong race. That said 4 weeks is a short space of time to make gains, so I would treat Worthing almost as a free hit without too high expectations. Any problems let me know.

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.
Recoveries: 120 Secs for the 12 mins, 60 Seconds for the 1 min reps.
A really good session to do as a group the week in the lead up to a half marathon. It gives you an opportunity to run a few miles at goal pace and also get some speed in the legs. Be sure to stick to HM pace though, any quicker and it defies the object of the session and you will be tired on race day.

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

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.
