You are going to hate 1km reps after this week. But great volume at a decent effort, this is how the top runners are doing it these days. At not point this week do you need to push into 5k effort, so that’s the positive. Any questions just ask. Let’s make this week a big one!!

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.

Well done Ben. Hopefully not as hot there as it is here.

I’ve created a good all round gym session here. There might be some exercises the physio has given you that we need to work in. Let me know the key ones from that and I can chop and change a little. It might take us a while to get it perfect but those that have made the best gains with their strength work just do the same thing week in week out with only a few tweaks here and there.

If time is limited what I do is pair exercises together and go from one to the other without the recovery. I’ve tried to pair some up for you. For example you could do 3 x 15 Bicep Curls and then use the same barbell for your deadlifts, so straight away you’re saving about 3-4 mins by not needing 60s recovery in between each of those exercises.

Did a class Monday, so will move 40 min run to Tues. Prob not a bad thing as had run 2 days in a row. Class was mainly upper body so will switch to do more of a full body and legs class, but signed up for 8 classes over the month, so will let you know what days the appropriate classe are if that’s ok? And then work the runs around that?
Yeah of course, that’s cool. Once you have the dates I can schedule them into the plan and we can move things around. Definitely want the focus to me on the legs though, won’t get much benefit from upper body stuff as runners. But still a decent start to the week/

If on a calm day and a flat stretch, focus on pace. If the loop or route has elevation or windy conditions, hitting the right heart rate makes this similar to a threshold session.

This is one my favourite half marathon sessions. Hopefully goal pace will feel comfortable, until those last 3-4 reps when you’ll need to work hard. If it goes well this will give you a big confidence boost for race day, knowing the pace is achievable.
