60 Mins Run
Zone 2: Easy
If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
I did originally have 200 metre reps in there for Tuesday but then I thought, what happened if you got injured doing 200s 12 days before your marathon, I’d feel awful. So let’s be smart, the strides are still worth doing at a sensible effort, but the rest keep easy, now we are in the big taper week to leave you fresh come Paris. Any problems let me know, but enjoy the lighter week.

Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.
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.
