If PW was the goal race I would say go for a sub 90. But the fact we ae only 6 weeks out from London I think it’s smart to be cautious and I believe you can bank a new PB running at a 7/10 effort max which should make it a very enjoyable run and mean you don’t need 5 days to recover as would be the case if you went eye balls out. Save that sub 90 for another day. Any problems with the rest of the schedule just shout, but a nice relaxed week ahead of Sunday!

A good session to practice some HM pace, but also appreciate the variation between the speeds at different distances. Work hard, run tall, smile. You got this.

8 x 100 metre Strides (RPE: 8)
60 Second Recoveries
Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics. Strides are essential here, not optional 😉

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.
