It’s like Christmas for me. I love this week. For yourself, just enjoy the day on Sunday. The focus is Brighton, but this is a good opportunity to run a strong race, enjoy the crowds and make the most of your current fitness levels. You’re running really well right now and I think it’s great to have this opportunity to run this brilliant event in our home town (or close to in your case). I can’t wait. Any problems let me know. Keep up the great work Sarah.
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.

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.

Flexibility is definitely very important to runners and yoga can help in that area!
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.
