Do you ever have a Monday evening free? I’m sure I’ve asked before so ignore me if not. Track on a Monday 6:15-7:30pm is great. You’d love it. Same session you’ve got scheduled the following morning but we get between 40-50 runners on a Monday. First two sessions are free. Keep parkrun super easy if you do go. We want you to be rested for Sunday. There are 1:45 pacers here. So tuck in with them if you can and let the pack do the work for you. Just stick with them and switch off mentally. It makes such a difference. Hopefully see you up there as loads of the team are running Sunday. any problems let me know

A good session to practice some HM pace, but also appreciate the variation between the speeds at different distances. Work hard, run tall, smile. You got this.

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.

“Easy means Easy! Not 5k pace, not 10k pace, not even marathon pace. Easy pace!! 😉”
Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.
Thank you.
Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.
