Absolutely quality week. Speed work, long run, easy miles, strides, strength work, cross training and the magic stairs. It looks quite busy but I think individually all the sessions are very achievable. Weeks like this are almost definitely going to bring improvement. So keep smashing the training. Any issues just shout. See you Tuesday.

Zone 2: Easy

A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Keep that heart rate in Zone 2. You might feel like RPE is higher, as it’s a tough exercise, but a good opportunity to really improve your aerobic engine without the heavy impact of running.

20 x 60 Secs (60s Rest)

3K Pace

10 Mins CD

Easy

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.

Found this session a bit harder than usual โ€“ Probably down to the Rye 10 on Sunday and the longer Gym session with magic stairs on Monday
Yeah a few said the same. I think anytime you have a big race on Sunday it’s just having that awareness you’ll be a little fatigued and in that scenario it’s best then to focus on RPE or HR, rather than pace. Otherwise you end up just getting a big disheartened if not nailing the target pace. We can’t bring our A-game every day, just turning up, putting the effort in and completing the session is a success, even if sometimes the speed and pace isn’t quite there.

Zone 2-3: Easy/Steady

Likely your heart rate will climb as you run up the hills, so don’t worry too much about drifting into Zone 3 for the hills, try and keep the rest in Zone 2.
