Light week to rest up ahead of the weekend BYO Session. I’ve stuck that in as a 50k ultra, but again something like 8 laps would be plenty. You’re only 2 weeks out from the race so don’t want to be overdoing it. Any problems though just shout.

75 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Nice and easy!! Why 75 mins and not 60? To hit that training load target and ensure your plan is as consistent, week in week out as possible, to reduce that risk of injury.
Crammed a bit more into 1 session here but now you’ve got a lot of good stuff in there. Hopefully it’s ok?
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.
50K @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-5)
So important to respect the distance and get the pacing right. If you go off at a comfortable enough pace, then you’ll run a good race. Keep fuelling even if you don’t feel like it. Ultra’s have been described as “eating contests” by some of the leading runners. Walk the hills if need be.
