There have been times in this block were it’s felt tough to keep you to the miles set, but I love that enthusiasm. I can’t really picture a plan that would have kept you injury free and running as well as you are right now. I’m confident you have a sub 3 in you. If it doesn’t happen Sunday then so be it, there are likely to be other opportunities and I feel that is a great mindset to have, taking off some of the pressure. The only way I could be disappointed come Sunday is if the early pace is too quick, after our conversations. Slowing down when you feel that good at the start of a marathon is really tough, but have my voice in your head over those first 6-8 miles “easy does it” and I think you’ll smash it. Very best of luck Adam and thank you putting your trust in me, it’s been fun coaching you to this point and hopefully whatever happens Sunday we can continue to make progress with your running.

A good session to mix up paces. WU & CD very important to slowly build the pace.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
26.2 Miles @ Marathon Pace (RPE: 5)
We’ve made it. So exciting. The biggest mistake is going off too fast, know your pace and stick to it, even if it feels super easy. You’ve trained well, now just go and execute. Best of luck.
