Another solid week with a really good hills session on Tuesday. Only 4 weeks now until Eastbourne which is exciting. Keep up the great work Patrick.
Well done Patrick. We have dropped to 78% now of total training completed. To really see gains we need to be up above 90%. How do you feel the training is going? Too demanding? I think you have so much potential but we just need to hit the targets if we can. Let me know what else I can do to help.

This session should last 40 minutes. Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.
So you might reach lamppost 12 in 20 mins, then next rep will be to lamppost 11, then 10, then 9 and so on, eventually returning to 1.
Use the downhill as your recovery. You should be working at an RPE of 8 up the hill, and a 3 downhill.
A tough session so important to pace yourself well. If you really want to make it challenge, push the pace downhill as well.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
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.
