Enjoyed that (in a strange sort of way) Could probably have taken a second off of each lap, but not a lot left in the tank at the end.
The quicker you are the tougher this session is, as it’s harder to hold the pace for that long. But as you say, at the very worst 1 sec per lap off target, which is a fine effort and you still had a strong finish in you. Last lap was the quickest of the night. I’m very pleased. Great work Steve

12pts | 40 Mins Run

12 POINTS

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

24pts | 60 Mins Easy to MP

24 POINTS

Rather than just head out and do 60 mins easy, this goes through the gears a little and will hopefully help you improve running economy as the speed picks up a little. It’s still a light session but makes the easy runs more interesting. Best done on the flat to hit consistent paces.

just a tad off the pace but cold, wet, windy and trying not to slip on the muddy footpath and into the Regents Canal! A Prog run none the less.
Yeah falling into a canal would not be ideal. Well done Steve

52pts | 7km Progression (HM)

52 POINTS

7km @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
7km @ Marathon Pace (RPE: 5)
7km @ Half Marathon Pace (RPE: 6)

A really good half marathon session. Slowly increasing the pace and finishing at goal pace on tired legs. Those last 7km should be tough but keep working hard to maintain that pace. You got this!!
