Little bit of reshuffling as I did have Alan Corke in. Can always switch Tuesday to Monday (track) if you feel fresh after the weekend. Just depends when and how the long run went, but given it was only 90 mins, hopefully no problems. The hill session is what I’ll be doing with the PB group. Nice little tempo run Saturday which you can incorporate with parkrun. I’ve created Cam a slightly different session (he won’t like he has to do more, but your paces align so you could run the 10k together around 8 min miling which I think is cool).

Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.

Focus on effort level rather than pace or heart rate as both will fluctuate depending if you are going up or down the hill

Loved the concept of that! Nice to know when youโ€™ve reached halfway each rep gets shorter. My mantra to Cameron went from motivational โ€˜keep it goingโ€™ to โ€˜omg this is savageโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜‚
๐Ÿ˜‚ It’s a decent way of doing hills that. But hopefully it’s built your mental resilience up that little bit more and hills in future races should feel less daunting. It’s good to put in sessions like this to test the legs in a different way. Thanks for coming too, it was nice to have the support and be able to run with you guys. Great work Jodie.

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

10K Tempo (HM)

10K @ HM Pace

Zone 4: Half

2km CD

Zone 2: Easy

If you are training for a specific time in a half marathon, getting some miles in at goal pace is key. If it’s early in your plan don’t worry too much if you’re little off pace at this stage. With the upcoming training that should improve over the weeks. In that scenario don’t give up, hold a consistent pace and RPE throughout.

Bit of imposter syndrome this morning because how have I ran a HM at that pace when that felt so hard ๐Ÿ˜… timed it with Cameronโ€™s run so most of my 10k part was with him which helped keep me consistent with the pace! Enjoyed it overall always good to complete the harder sessions ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ
I think it just comes down to having not done much half marathon pace for a while. And this highlights why from time to time it’s good to train at different paces. 36pts for a session, its meant to be tough in truth, so I’m glad it pushed you as well. Conal made an interesting point on his run (3 x 5km at hm pace), about how he only hit the pace during parkrun, his final km rep, and how much easier it felt having others around him. So when doing these type of sessions solo or in a pair and you think, how I can hit that pace on race day, there’s your answer, it’s so much easier in a big group. Great work Jodie.

70 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.

That felt great today. HR was so low throughout average 135
I love runs like that and again highlights the importance of keeping it easy and getting the HR in the right place. Running is much more fun when you have a few of these runs each week. Well done Jodie. I think I might have messed up the schedule slightly as had 60 mins/strides and rest day for Wednesday, so perhaps that led to confusion. But that’s ok, I’ll tweak the target on this occasion, we had two good sessions done so it won’t make much difference going forward. Apologies for that. Everything is done manually so occasionally there might be a hiccup with the sessions, just let me know if you spot anything which looks wrong.
