We ease back this week slightly, to recovery from PW and also get some extra rest ahead of HHM. See how you feel Tuesday. If you feel tired still from the half marathon then switch the run for an easy 60 mins. You could even push that to Wednesday for another day or recovery if it’s needed. You’re running well, so if the forecast is good we can have a crack at another quick parkrun. Any problems let me know, but keep up the great work Glenn.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. This session is tough but will really help you make big gains. Use the downhill as a light recovery jog, so exact recovery times can be flexible.
A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

1 Mile CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A good session to mix up paces. WU & CD very important to slowly build the pace.
parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
70 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.
