Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜
Big week to hit the target of 180 (luv the darts). Tuesdays session just factor in time management as you might need all your track time for the session itself so an early warm up and cool down off the track might be needed. Sunday should be fairly comfortable, 6 miles at half marathon pace? Nae bother right? So whilst it’s a big week, individually none of the runs are that challenging. You got this Dan!

Another TRC inspired running channel which apparently was the reason one of their presenters got their marathon time down from 3:40 to sub 3:00 🤔 Hopefully it has the same effect for you.

Rather than just head out and do 60 mins easy, this goes through the gears a little and will hopefully help you improve running economy as the speed picks up a little. It’s still a light session but makes the easy runs more interesting. Best done on the flat to hit consistent paces.

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.
A total of 13 miles, so you cover the distance of a half marathon, but only 6 of those miles are at your target pace. A good chance to get some miles in at goal pace. Adds some variety to your long run as well. If the route isn’t flat or conditions are challenging focus on RPE over pace. It’s not always essential to hit goal pace in these sessions. Obviously into a strong headwind you will be slower.
