Hopefully I’ve got this ok with the travelling and work. Would be great if you and Chris can team up for a key long in this block. If you’ve never done HHM before, I’d recommend that one year. I’m buzzing with excitement this week. I’ve not done it for 2 years and last time I did it, was with sinusitis. So can’t wait to pace 2 hours this weekend and hopefully help lots of runners to achieve their goals. Any issues with your schedule just shout and hope you have a good week Phil.

MONDAY

10pts | Gym Legs/Core L1

10 POINTS

A good all round session to work the legs and core. You should have built up to this fairly gradually, so don’t dive in head first as you want to take your time building your strength. Be sensible with the weights to begin with.

If short on time combine 2 exercises together (superset) them to save on the recoveries. Ideally one leg exercises and one core exercise where possible. Eg squats and planks.

Completed as planned. Have a good day Simon.
Excellent work Phil. Great way to start the week

TUESDAY

18pts | 60 Mins Run

18 POINTS

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.

Simon – 50m done at a slow recovery type pace – jet lagged so didnt push on to do the full 60 today
Well done Phil, always wise to listen to the body and do a little less if need be. We cam always make up those pts later in the week if need be.

69pts | 16 Miles @ MP

One of the biggest sessions you will do before a marathon. Make sure you fuelling and hydration is on point and wear race kit if you can

69 Points
Mission completed. 2 miles easy, 16 miles at marathon pace of c 9:10. Temp was 17 deg, overcast but some humidity. More elevation on the course than I thought. Heart rate 151, time on feet 2:48, cadence quite low 169. Fatigue kicked in about 13m and then again at 16m when I wanted to kick, but met a few upslopes! ps 10m elliptical as a warm up
Fantastic. Sounds and looks like you had a really good run. This is a big session in prep for the marathon and seems like you’re in really good shape ahead at this stage of the plan. Hopefully race day here in the UK will be a little cooler too. Great work Phil.

70 minutes easy completed (60 minutes plan) – made up for earlier in the week Simon – in terms of planning for next week, I fly from Melbourne to Chicago tomorrow (Sunday) and am then in the US till Thursday morning. Days are as follows. MON: I can do a longish quality run; TUE; S&C?; WED: run ideally 60m or less; Thurs: S&C, FRI Easy run?, SAT REST, SUN Long run. Suggestions to try to match the jet lag and the gaps in the diary. Feel free to amend.
Well done Phil. I have tweaked next weeks schedule based on your feedback so it will be slightly different to the plan as well.
