You can do this!! I have great belief it you. There will be moments, many, during the race, even early on the hills that your stupid brain will say you can’t (everyones does that), but I’m there, and remember my voice “you CAN do this Lou”. Try and switch off, and run in the pack, running is so much easier in a group, so hopefully you’ll find that Sunday. I’m so excited, it’s going to be amazing. I think also important to remember this is a free hit for you, with London Landmarks still to come, so no pressure to hit that sub 2, because it’s not the main goal this block. Any issues with the schedule let me know, you could swap Wednesday and Thursday if you want.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

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.
