Hopefully the gritting duties are not as full on this week and you can get along to some of the evening sessions. It’s not the same without you there. A good solid week and a fast parkrun (all being well), meaning you can push hard on Saturday. And no long run to worry about either which is nice. Any problems let me know.
Well better that last week and I will enter the Lydd HM but HHM I’m Marshalling.
Well done Jim, quite a lot of us do the Paddock Wood half 2 weeks before HHM. The only negative being it gives you less time to prepare. But it’s a good option.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
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.
