So holding back from the pure speed work just yet, hence we attempt the 1k reps at 10k pace rather than 5k pace. If the hamstring is still an issue we can change that again. Keep parkrun at half marathon pace too. If might be a little frustrating at first but it’s important we are sensible early in the plan, Loads of quick parkruns ahead and given it’s likely to be roasting this week it’s a good one to do at a slower pace. Any issues let me know. But keep up the great work Kevin.

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.
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.
A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. The elliptical can tone muscles and improve endurance whilst being gentle on your joints. You might find you have to work quite hard to get your heart rate in Zone 2.
Great session. If short on time superset a few exercises. Let’s do this 💪
A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
