So something a bit different on Sunday. We need to focus on your goal pace this week really. As great as it is to help others, you don’t want that to effect your own running too much, and the fitter and stronger you are going forward the more people you can help. So from time to time it’s worth doing a session like this. Any problems let me know. Keep up the great work Mark.

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.

An enjoyable evening. A lot warmer than I expected. Good idea to use Bottle Alley – Safe and Well Light, might be worth using it again.
Yeah that was definitely a good switch on this occasion. Really well done Mark. Some strong pacing in there.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Looked after the 3.5-4 Group. Joined by a few from the 4-4.5 Group. Picked out a safe route, only came across 2 bits of ICE, so everyone got back in one piece.
Well done Mark, and thanks for leading.

Zone 4: Half

A good opportunity to practice some half marathon pace on your long run. This is a tough session so you’ll be working hard, embrace that. You got this 💪

So just to clarify you start the session with a nice easy 20 minute jog. Don’t worry about the pace here, even if you are slower than your “easy pace” target, this is all about warming up the muscles. Then settle into your half marathon pace for 20 mins.

Once you’ve completed that, you repeat that process two more times, for a total of 2 hours of running, of which half will be at your target half marathon pace. Each 20 minute half marathon section will feel tougher than the previous and you’ll be working very hard in that last block.

You got this!!!

Joined by Sarah for part of the run. Cold blustery wind made this very tough, did not a lot left in my legs when I finished. This was hard.
Well done Mark, and nice to have some company. Hopefully a bit of rest will give the legs some spark again for next week
