Super easy pace Sunday please. It’s almost an easy run, yes it’s 3 hours, but you want to get to end knowing you can go again next week. Tuesday evening? Any chance you will be finished work in time to join us over in Hastings? I think you would benefit from that. I should be able to sort you a lift as a few are coming over from Bexhill. No worries if not, then a nice easy HM session on Friday. Any problems let me know but I’m starting to get excited with races coming up soon.
Obviously ended up a lighter week with the restructured timing of the weekend run due to start of half term – but felt good with the sessions completed.
The most important thing was you hit those key sessions. And over 120 banked, feels like you are still running at a really good level despite the challenges you have to face in recent weeks, so that is very pleasing.

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.

Time to make sure your fuelling and hydration is on point. 30-60g of carbs per hour. The longer the run goes on the tougher it will get.
