Bit session Sunday. The biggest one left in the plan before London. If it were me I think combining this with Eastbourne half would be a great idea. You could do the extra beforehand. I did this for Chester marathon running 15km and then joining in the Battle 10k. It felt great. But no worries if you prefer to do it solo. I’ve changed the efforts to make it half marathon pace, to reduce the risk of injury again. Any problems let me know. If you are worried about 4 runs, we could combine the 2 40 mins together into an 80 min run and that would give you more recovery. Your friend Nick came to efforts and was awesome. So impressed with his running, thank you for the recommendation.

Super simple session and a chance to get some half marathon paced miles in, but not overdo it.

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.
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.

Huge marathon session. But if you can get this done then things are looking good for race day. Marathon training is meant to be hard, so embrace it.
