Best week of the plan right? Just 80pts the target. If only every week were like this and we could still get fitter and faster. Any problems let me know. Keep the S&C light as well.

18pts | 60 Mins Run

18 POINTS

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Got a knee niggle… was going to do Thurs anyway as travelling but left knee feels like it has bit of tendon movement, especially coming down steps. Don’t think it’s a running injury to be fair, done a lot of travelling so think maybe too long in one position. I didn’t have it after Sundays run at all. Leaving this run and will see how it is Sunday and use s&c to really stretch etc Think will be fine, I’d run on it if we were 3/4 weeks out but not at this point.
Very sensible to rest. From experience as both a runner and coach, niggles seem to pop up at this stage of the plan. Maranoia is definitely a thing. So I wouldn’t worry too much at this stage. Keep stretching and you might find a short run helps, but just take it day by day really. Keep me posted.

Did in bits not to overload, body weight and core. Did some body weight hack squats, also a weird stretch, into deep squat then repeat raise heels, seems to help! I think maybe I’ve jarred it somehow without realising, can still feel it today bit zero pain. Will try a small run and see how it goes. I’m sure it’s not serious
All I would say at this stage is don’t do anything different. Any weird new stretches, save them for post Brighton, just to be on the safe side, but well one though.

26pts | 40 Mins Tempo (M)

26 POINTS

Just an opportunity to get some more miles in at marathon pace and really dial those splits in. Come race day we want marathon pace to feel comfortable.

Did easy pace as tester, could feel it a bit and a bit on other side, sooo I think it’s an exersise I’ve done I’m not used to, or just a huge ramp up of climb over last few weeks coming out of winter road/flatish period. Bit of adjustment? Not reallyworried at this point, will see how it is tomoz after this run.
These things happen at often close to race day. Hopefully it will pass but sensible to keep an eye on it for now. This part of the plan is all about easing back so it’s not going to effect the marathon by missing a few training pts this week

21pts | 70 Mins Run

21 POINTS

70 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.

Substituted for long 2 hr hike to not aggravate anything. Did a good 360m of climb so decent low impact session. Will be doing a fair few long walks in woods this week so can keep legs moving
I think that’s very sensible at this stage of the plan. Play it safe, even if you don’t run between now and Sunday you’re fitness won’t be impacted.
