A light week again. We just need to be careful with the 2 half marathon in 3 weeks not to overdo it and keep you fresh for those key sessions whilst still getting some good solid mileage in. With only 3 runs, there is the possibility of ditching one of the S&Cs for a 30-40 min shake out run if you prefer? Any problems let me know. But keep up the great work Jamie.

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
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.

A decent session in any marathon training block. Unless you’re Kipchoge, this should feel comfortable as you won’t be covering a huge distance.
