Two great sessions this week. Tuesday is a beaut. If there was ever a time to introduce the metronome, Tuesday would be it. Work out what cadence = your 10k pace and just follow the beat. It’s really that easy. If then you are slightly off pace, you can up the cadence slightly. I would highly recommend giving that a go. Any questions let me know. No long run this week which is nice. Let’s make this week another big one!! Keep up the great work Andy.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
2km WU @ Easy Pace RPE: 3
10 x 1km @ 10k Pace RPE: 7 (120 Secs)
2km CD @ Easy Pace RPE: 3
The opportunity to hit your 10k goal time in one session, albeit with rests in between. But this is a really good session for those of you with a specific goal time in mind for 10k.
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.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
If you are training for a specific time in a half marathon, getting some miles in at goal pace is key. If it’s early in your plan don’t worry too much if you’re little off pace at this stage. With the upcoming training that should improve over the weeks. In that scenario don’t give up, hold a consistent pace and RPE throughout.
