40 Mins Run
Zone 2
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.
I realise this week might be difficult and I have made it as simple as possible whilst still setting a fairly decent target if you do manage to find some spare time. But no pressure. Time is still on our side for Brighton. Have a great week and Merry Christmas Victoria 🎄

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.
If you are training for a specific time in a half marathon, getting some miles in at goal pace is key. If it’s early in your plan don’t worry too much if you’re little off pace at this stage. With the upcoming training that should improve over the weeks. In that scenario don’t give up, hold a consistent pace and RPE throughout.
