Decent session this!! A good all round workout, working all the key muscle group and the fundamental movement patterns.
So a week without the speed work but that allows us to really work on that aerobic base which is key for half marathons. You should bank some decent miles this week and hopefully gain some extra strength with the workouts. Any issues though just shout, plenty of speed work coming in the next month or so. You’re going along nicely right now.

Find a hilly route and push the pace a little. The uphills will naturally make the RPE increase. Try to attack the downhills as well, then ease off a touch on the flat. This is a session though so effort should be quite high during the 40 mins on.
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.

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.
Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.
