I appreciate you are traveling this week so have dropped a few sessions and changed an upcoming recovery week into a full week, so we still hit the marathon targets before the taper begins. Any problems let me know but hopefully the lighter schedule looks achievable and very best of luck for Sunday. HHM down here so everyone is very excited in town.

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.

Treadmill again. This time due to a thunderstorm!
You’re not having much luck in Paraguay ๐Ÿ˜‚ Well done for still getting the run done though.

I’ve created a good all round gym session here. There might be some exercises the physio has given you that we need to work in. Let me know the key ones from that and I can chop and change a little. It might take us a while to get it perfect but those that have made the best gains with their strength work just do the same thing week in week out with only a few tweaks here and there.

If time is limited what I do is pair exercises together and go from one to the other without the recovery. I’ve tried to pair some up for you. For example you could do 3 x 15 Bicep Curls and then use the same barbell for your deadlifts, so straight away you’re saving about 3-4 mins by not needing 60s recovery in between each of those exercises.

Recoveries: 120 Secs for the 12 mins, 60 Seconds for the 1 min reps.

A really good session to do as a group the week in the lead up to a half marathon. It gives you an opportunity to run a few miles at goal pace and also get some speed in the legs. Be sure to stick to HM pace though, any quicker and it defies the object of the session and you will be tired on race day.

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.

Was really pleased to see the progress over a year. Had a niggle in my hip in second half which is worrying me a bit so may see a physio and look into doing some yoga pre Cali
Huge. So pleased. I feel a bit of a wally just by saying aim for a few seconds quicker per km (had a lot to process last week, that was my excuse). But what an improvement, and well deserved for your hard work. I’ll add a stretching routine to your dashboard that you can try. That’s designed to help with lack of flexibility. My hips are terrible cos of the time I spend in my office chair. A brilliant run though Ben.
