Sunday I know you are doing the HHM with Debbie, but because the effort will be lower I’ve just put it as a 3 hour run. I would imagine you will get round 15-20 minutes quicker than that, but with the WU you will be close to 3 hours. Apart from that, same as usual as we want to keep working towards London Landmarks half where now the goals may have shifted slightly after such a fantastic run at Paddock Wood. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Sue.

Session done. Lots of core work in fitball.
I always feel uncomfortable saying this as don’t want to come it across in the wrong way but I did notice you looked slim and strong Saturday at parkrun. So all the hard work you are putting in is clearly paying off. A great start to the new week.

A really good session to do as a group the week in the lead up to a half marathon. It gives you an opportunity to run a few miles at goal pace and also get some speed in the legs. Be sure to stick to HM pace though, any quicker and it defies the object of the session and you will be tired on race day.

Felt tired today and had no motivation but once I warm up I felt ok. Enjoyed the session. Was please i was almost keeping up with Jo & Mark.
You did really well. Often getting started is the hardest thing but once we get moving it can feel easier. Plus nice to have a session were the majority of the pace was a bit more comfortable. Great work Sue.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Nice easy run leading the 4.5 mile plus group.
Thanks for leading Sue. Jan said she really enjoyed running with your group.

Gym session done. Back feels sore probably due to gardening yesterday so took it easy. Hopefully this evening Yoga session will sort it out. Yoga completed. Has easier my back.
Well done Sue, glad the Yoga helped the back. I definitely need to do more stretching.

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace

13.1 Miles @ HM Pace

RPE: 6

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.

A bit disappointed as I wanted 2.25. but I was 2 min faster than last year. Struggled in the heat and notice my head was down alot. Shoulders were tense. I started to struggle on the ridge. Felt completely the opposite to how I felt at paddock wood. 7 out 29 in age category so happy with that Chip time 2.27.00
It’s a quick turnaround between the two races and anyone that had targeted HHM this year I told them not to run Paddock Wood. So there was likely to be that element of fatigue in there. I think from a fitness point of view it’s still really good you ran that hard, as it will bring the most benefits. Excellent work Sue.
