A good week in that we step back from anything too brutal. The 2 x 30 mins at marathon pace should be a good one. Still a pretty tough week with a juicy target of 130pts, but not as bad as you’ve smashed out in recent weeks, so we know you can do this. Keep going Andy, 7 weeks until Paris.

A good 10k session. See if you can run that 2nd mile quicker than the first. Push the pace on the 60s to get more from this session.

Tough one, but again liked the structure of this 😊. Pace was hard but stuck with it and was consistent and on target. Really pushed in the second 1.6km and did manage to keep the pace up and do it quicker – particularly pleased with this!
Glad you enjoyed this one. I like these where you have that speed and shorter reps in the middle and then have to dig deep on tired legs to hit that pace in the final rep. Very much what you have to do in any race. Fantastic work Andy. Really feel like you’re starting to hit targets and train well, just at the right time as well. Keep it up.

Another good variation to the 2 hour easy run. Marathon pace should feel fairly comfortable but you’ll need to focus on good form to run at this speed with a low RPE.

We made a plan to run to parkrun, did parkrun and then ran back. I kept the run there fairly steady, but then possibly got a bit excited during parkrun. Actually felt really strong so kept the slightly quicker pace up for the way home. Got to 2hrs and felt good so thought I might as well round it up to a 1/2 marathon. Then got there and thought i may as well go till 2 1/2 hours haha. Enjoyed it and felt strong. Sarah has done even further today so very proud of her too!
Love this. And love how well you two are doing right now. You’ve come good in the past 4-5 weeks and really taken on the challenge that comes with the training. Really chuffed with how well you’ve both done. Bonus points for this one.

Nice and easy. Smile, relax and enjoy. Love life!

14 Points
Had a nice recovery run. Felt good, and Sarah was doing a little more so I added an extra 15mins to do 45, instead of 30mins.
Extra makes the coach happy. So thank you. A 3rd 140pts + week in the last 4 which is great. Fitness will be peaking soon if you continue to smash the training. Well done Andy.
