I’ve split the middle run into two in case you wanted to do a few runs whilst away. The speed session I have kept basic. Pace should be no quicker than 10k pace. It means we can do more volume at a slightly lower intensity. The short recoveries are designed to keep your heart rate in a specific place and get maximum benefit from the session. Sunday is the first real marathon session in the block to dial in goal pace, although if it’s roasting you might find you’re a little off pace, which is fine. Any questions just ask. Have a great time away Karl.

Depending on what you prefer you can either opt for Zone 5 pace (10k) or work just below your LT2. If going for threshold ensure your HR data is accurate.
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.

Decent session this!! A good all round workout, working all the key muscle group and the fundamental movement patterns.
A good session early in a marathon plan to practice running at goal pace. Each 5k block will get progressively harder in terms of a higher heart rate and RPE, pace should be the same throughout the 5k reps.
