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.
Tuesday evening is a really good session if you are able to make it. I’ve put it in there with no track in the morning. If you don’t have PT and wanted a gym session to follow, let me know and I can put something together. Sunday we keep pushing that distance with 160 mins in the plan. Any problems this week just shout. But another great year Lindsey. Really well done on your progress. I still feel 2026 will be even better. Happy New Year to you and your family.

This session should last 40 minutes. Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.
So you might reach lamppost 12 in 20 mins, then next rep will be to lamppost 11, then 10, then 9 and so on, eventually returning to 1.
Use the downhill as your recovery. You should be working at an RPE of 8 up the hill, and a 3 downhill.
A tough session so important to pace yourself well. If you really want to make it challenge, push the pace downhill as well.

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
