No S&C this week as a bonus and to leave you fresher for HHM. Such an exciting week and whilst nerves are still normal, just remind yourself that you are in the best shape ever coming into this event. So you should be confident. I’ve got a few of the team, Klare and Lou who are looking to go for 2:10. I don’t think you’re that far away from that now, quicker if it were flat, so perhaps running with them might be an option.

Recoveries: 120 Secs for the 12 mins, 60 Seconds for the 1 min reps.
A really good session to do as a group the week in the lead up to a half marathon. It gives you an opportunity to run a few miles at goal pace and also get some speed in the legs. Be sure to stick to HM pace though, any quicker and it defies the object of the session and you will be tired on race day.

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.

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.
