There’s no getting away from the need for extra mins as we edge closer to Paris. If you wanted you could move 30 mins from Saturday to Sunday to lengthen the long run and have an easy parkrun Saturday. Tuesday is just a hilly steady pace run. You can pick one hill or a variety of hills, depending what works best for you. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Sarah.
Overall a really good week. Missed the 40 mins easy as missed run club due to work but everything else was completed. Long run was a success so we are planning how to fit other long runs in around parkrun.
Also got a new Garmin and new running shoes for my birthday so I’ve got no excuse not to run now! Haha
Well done Sarah, just what we needed, so really well done, pushes us back over that 80% total training mark. If we can keep nudging that back to 90% come Paris I think you’ll be in good shape. I need to know what new shoes and watch you were given for your birthday? 😂 That will definitely give some added motivation for sure.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.
10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
60 Mins @ Half Marathon Pace (RPE: 6-8)
10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A good opportunity to practice goal pace for an steady run. The more comfortable you get at goal pace the easier it will feel on race day.

160 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
This is the sort of distance where fuelling is now a priority. You’ll also start to get tired legs, but unless there is any specific pain, keep going, you’ll be amazed how far you can run on tired legs.
40 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
8 x 100 metre Strides (RPE: 8)
60 Second Recoveries
Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.
