So into the taper we go. Busy week, but nothing too major, we keep the quality but ease off the mileage. Might be a good time to attempt a quick parkrun as your fitness should be a decent place right now. Obviously 5k hasn’t been the focus so approach it without any pressure or expectations and just give it a good go. Any issues let met know, but most of the hard work is done now. Roll on Paris. Keep going Sarah.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

Ideally you’re looking to match or beat your current 5k pace. This is a really simple but effective session. Working to time rather than distance allows you to do these sessions with runners of different ability. Very best of luck,
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.
parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
