Week Commencing: 27 APR 26

Choose Day👇

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.

60 Mins Run

18 POINTS

6.27 miles. 1 hour 5 secs. 106 bpm – doesn’t sound right though! Mile 1: 9.46. Mile 2: 9.35. Mile 3: 9.26. Mile 4: 9.32. Mile 5: 9.37. Mile 6: 9.37. Mile 6.27: 9.25. Overall pace: 9.35
Yeah that HR is crazy low. Probably a malfunction with the watch, rather than the heart (let’s hope that is the case 😬😂). But another smart session with the race on Sunday. Well done Iain.

HM Timed Taper

25 POINTS

6.78m. 58 mins 27 secs. Hadn’t set up Garmin to track the run correctly so difficult to give feedback apart from feel: Didn’t feel strong for second HM pace block, not sure why maybe just tired. Eased off a bit on the 3k pace bits.
Splits looked good though, so hopefully the pace will feel strong Sunday. It will be tough Sunday, especially from km 12 onwards, so don’t be afraid of that hard work, as that’s what it takes to run a new PB, but I feel like you’re in good shape to give it a go. Albeit normally we’ve have a bit more of a taper. Well done Iain.

Half Marathon

66 POINTS

As per WhatsApp message. Wasn’t my day for a PB. But still a HM completed in a good time.
It’s always important to take the positives, and we crammed a lot into the last 4 weeks to try and get this PB, normally it would be done in a much more gradual way with a proper taper, so it was an excellent effort and definitely will have help progress with your overall fitness. So really well done Iain.
