Two big sessions this week, especially at the weekend. That’s going to be tough, but a great half marathon session. On Monday focus on those 1:36 laps. No need to go any quicker than that. Any issues let me know, but now we are working at a decent level.

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.

In expectation of track not usable this evening I did the session on the PR course. Very good running conditions but struggled with the pace a bit. Felt bit sluggish all round – glad I did it though.
Love this. Forward planning. Great job Steve. Always much harder to hit the pace doing it solo and in harder conditions, so don’t worry about that on this occasion. We know from recent weeks the pace is there. Just pleased you were able to get it ticked off.

The key to this session are the 2 x 5km at half marathon pace and appreciating how different the pace feels at the start of a race compared to the end. That first 5km rep when fresh should feel relatively comfortable. But the last one, because of the quicker reps in between is going to feel very tough. Don’t worry so much if the 10k pace is a little off, but work hard on those reps.

Managed to nail the HM and 10k paces. Needed to add in bit of extra recovery time to allow lungs to recover from the cold air.
Quality session Steve. Some very good splits too. It’s when you see at the end you’ve done 10 miles in 75 mins that you realise just how good these type of sessions are, albeit with some rest in between. Was the RPE about right? (can comment on the weekly feedback)….as HR looks nice and low to be fair. Might just be the watch given slightly false data, not that it matters, but I do often look these days just to check.
