With the Worthing half now in the plan it’s a much lighter week in the build up. It’s not really a goal race as such but it’s still one you can run a good time. So if you wanted to chat pacing strategies then let me know. I think you are running well and it’s an opportunity to beat your time from Hastings if you wanted, given the flatter nature of the route. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Maria.

If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.
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.

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

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.
