I’d say get yourself on the trails if you can, making one of those runs as hilly as possible (Friday). Combine that with another strength session and it’s a decent week a few weeks out from the big race. Any problems let me know.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Got some hills in but took dog so kept pace down with a few stops
Gotta keep the dog happy. Easy pace and low heart rate keep the coach happy too, so everyones happy it seems.

Decent session, full body. Will try and get another session do do a bit more core
Nice, out of interest do you lift heavy at low reps? Apologies if we had this conversation before, it’s something I would like to work towards with my runners as continually reading that’s the best approach but want to make sure they get there without getting injured.

36pts | Continuous Hills

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
40 Mins @ HM-Marathon Effort (RPE: 6)
10 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Find a hilly route and push the pace a little. The uphills will naturally make the RPE increase. Try to attack the downhills as well, then ease off a touch on the flat. This is a session though so effort should be quite high during the 40 mins on.

Did from Talisker steps, up east hill steps to top of Barley lane. Cut slightly short as I had a horrible feeling I’d left my phone on windowsill when I locked door – I hadn’t… Sharp hill at end up and over west hill home.
Love how you’ve managed to squeeze so much elevation out of this run. Perfect for the challenge that awaits. Great work Victoria. I’m going with max points just because of how hilly it was.

Int’ Peak District so tough even with easy pace, last hill was killer… Visiting mum so did have a few drinks and some residual doms from a hard week so tired in the leg region, but wasn’t horrific… Probably did a bit over half the climb of the marathon in half the distance ish so a good idea of what it will be like.
Sounds fun and like an adventure. As you say, good to get that elevation in there as well, as race day will provide a similar challenge. But overall really happy where you’re at right now and another solid week post HHM. Well done Victoria.
