2 really good sessions this week. Tuesday is tough so pace it well and Sunday is a brilliant session which should feel relatively comfortable. A flat route can help keep pace consistent. Any problems let me know. Happy New Year Manami.
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.
Focus on effort level rather than pace or heart rate as both will fluctuate depending if you are going up or down the hill
Done it before you were there. I couldn’t find better hills near my house. I liked my solo session.
This is fantastic. Really well done for getting this completed on your own. It’s a very good hill this one, quiet and perfect elevation. I am very impressed. Well done Manami. Coach Simon 🍊
If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
Carefully ran in seafront. It was fine.
There’s that word again, “fine”, are you ok? 😂 You’re normally so much more upbeat. Just kidding. Well done on getting the session done and avoiding the ice. It’s runner kryptonite. Coach Simon 🍊

A good session in the middle part of your marathon training plan to get familiar with your goal pace!
This kind of session is my favourite. Really enjoyed it even it was cold.
Fantastic running Manami. They are great aren’t they. Running at marathon pace should feel comfortable, but quick too. Great to see you are back feeling strong again. Coach Simon 🍊
