Two really good sessions this week. HM pace should feel relatively comfortable for the most part. But rather than try and hold it for say 90 mins, it can be good to break that down into smaller more manageable chunks. Any issues let me know but keep up the great work Maria. I’ve tweaked S&C slightly too, so any issues there, just shout.
A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.
The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

*Recoveries: 2 Mins Between All Reps
Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.

Recoveries – Take a 3 min recovery walk between reps.
Another good half marathon session to practice race pace. Breaking it down into smaller reps can make it more manageable and ensure it’s easy to stick to goal pace. You got this 💪
