If you’re free Wednesday the Spring 5K would be a perfect option to practice HM pace as you’d need to be really disciplined not to go off too fast. I quite like that idea. We don’t want to be racing at 5k pace Wednesday though as that will leave your tired for Sunday. Tuesday at track in the morning also an option if you have the girls to entertain. So there are options and we only have the two runs. You know you can do this Sunday. It will be tough, but the most satisfying achievements in life are tough, if it were easy we wouldn’t feel that emotion at the end. So in those tough moments, switch your attention to form, high hips, run tall, and find a mantra, “I can do this”. For me the knowledge I have to set an example to the team works a treat and has helped me pushed to limits I would never previously have reached. But go there, give it your best shot and enjoy. Very best of luck Lou.

A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.

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.
