Sometimes the week on the dashboard can look quite overwhelming, but just focus on one day at a time, one mile at a time, one exercise at a time and often if feels much more manageable than you anticipated. Keep up the great work though Andy. We are building that endurance again with more miles on the plan again. Any problems just ask.
Really good week i think. Long run on Saturday was key! Nice to get some good miles in now that the weather is slightly better!
An excellent week. 130+pts is a really good level to be working at. Finding that option for the Saturday long run is ideal and something we can use going forward. Great work Andy. We just need to build on this now and keep hitting the targets. That takes us to 79% training completed overall, if we can get that to 90% or high 80s come Paris, I think you’ll be well set. I think having those training goals can really help motivate us.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.
The only real mistake you can make here is going too fast. Try and pick a flat route as well. Finish off with the strides. Total time needed is 60 mins.
10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
60 Mins @ Half Marathon Pace (RPE: 6-8)
10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A good opportunity to practice goal pace for an steady run. The more comfortable you get at goal pace the easier it will feel on race day.
160 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
This is the sort of distance where fuelling is now a priority. You’ll also start to get tired legs, but unless there is any specific pain, keep going, you’ll be amazed how far you can run on tired legs.
