Get those guns firing! Take 30 seconds recovery between sets.
Change up the schedule if need be. I appreciate it’s another week where changes might need to happen. But a couple of really good sessions this week. Tuesday is a tough one so pace it well, start off slowly and build into the workout. Then Sunday a chance to practice half marathon pace in a really fun session. Any problems just shout. Happy New Year Glenn.

Get those guns firing! Take 30 seconds recovery between sets.
Recoveries: 30-60s. If time is limited then do 2 exercises together and remove the recoveries.
*Each side (double the reps). So 2 x 30 second Side Planks = 4 in total (2 on each side).
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
| Squats | 45s x 2 |
| Calf Raises | 30s x 2 |
| Split Squat | 60s x 2 |
| Wall Sits | 60s x 2 |
| Single Leg Deadlift | 60s x 2 |
| Crab Walks | 30s x 2 |
15 minutes. Bish. Bash. Bosh. Add some weights once ready to progress with some of the exercises.
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.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Add some variety to your long runs and ideal if you are training for a specific half marathon time. Practicing goal pace is very important in training.
