Crazy that your taper week is anyone elses biggest week of their plan 😂 You’re a machine. I still wanted to get a bit of speed in the legs, it’s far enough out from race day to not be an issue. Listen to the body as well, if you need extra rest, take it, you’ll know better than me in this scenario. We want you fresh for race day.

1 Mile WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
3 Miles @ Marathon Pace (RPE: 5)
3 Miles @ Half Marathon Pace (RPE: 6)
1 Mile CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A good session to mix up paces. WU & CD very important to slowly build the pace.
60 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2-5)
60 mins on the flat is quite different to 60 mins on the hills. So it’s important to differentiate between the two and if you do a hilly easy run, to account for that extra training load and how it might impact the rest of your week.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 30 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.
Crammed a bit more into 1 session here but now you’ve got a lot of good stuff in there. Hopefully it’s ok?
90 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
