Tuesday is the team session but to be honest we could easily hit the target without that. Just add on some extra mins onto the other 2 easy runs. So with Bewl on the plan for Sunday, see how you feel Tuesday, there’s no need to push right now with the 5k PB in the bank. Sounds like I’m trying to put you off efforts 😂 Any other issues let me know. For Bewl I think somewhere around marathon pace is a good target. Whilst it’s quite flat for the most part, it’s often warm and if you go much quicker the hills will gobble you up at the end.

Maintaining your current 5k pace will get progressively more challenging as a session unfolds. So breaking it down in this nature should allow you to maintain that pace for the whole session.
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.
This is likely to be Bewl 15 as it’s the only 15 mile race I know of. Marathon pace is a good target here as the trails and likely warm conditions will slow you down a fraction, not to mention the hills late on.
