Squeezing quite a lot into the end of the week. Important we don’t go too big at the weekend and do a hard parkrun before the 10 miler. I wasn’t sure on your availability for Tuesday so put a session in there on the off chance you can get out before flying off to Naples. I hope it’s a successful trip. Any issues with the plan just let me know.

I love this session. It’s very challenging. To clarify it’s reps of 1200 metres with the last 200 metres at a quicker pace. If you get the pace right for the 1k part of the rep, there should be a little bit of energy left to increase the speed for 200 metres at the end. You’ll be working really hard at that point. Enjoy.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.
Thank you.
WU is key. CD not as important, but if you have done a fast 10 miles it’s recommended. Also if going for a quick one including drills and strides (4 bonus pts) is worth while too.
Knowing your goal pace beforehand is important and ensuring you don’t go off too quick is crucial. Obviously that will be determined by the elevation of the route. But I’m always happy to discuss pacing strategies and race tactics beforehand.
Good Luck!! You got this 💪
