We need that rest Monday to avoid doing 5 days on the spin. Also after a big last week we need to ease back. It’s still early in your London marathon training and we need to make sure when those big sessions do arrive you’re not burnt out. Patience is definitely the key right now, but long term this is the best approach. There is a scope for an additional easy run Friday if you did want to add that?
Good week. I need to start looking at fuelling again for my long runs. I only run on water since london but I cant seem to face gels. Find all of them so sickly. Know of any that arent?
Another strong week and nice to ease back a little. Thanks again for leading on the Sunday. Really appreciate that. Definitely important to address that fuelling. Have you ever persisted with gels and tried them for a whole training block? It’s similar in that we need to train our gut and it can take time to get used to them. But if you are really struggling, some chews might be an alternative. I know a lot of people like Kendall Mint Cake which could be a good option. This is the time to be experimenting though so we don’t leave it too late. Great work Lindsey

Classic session. Super simple. The end result being you have a better understanding of your current time for a 5K. Work hard and ideally finish each rep a few seconds quicker than your current 5k pace.
Trust your PT.
Always explain to your PT what else you are doing this week so they can adjust the session accordingly.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

130 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-5)
Pushing beyond that 2 hour barrier is a good mental win. Important to be fuelling and staying hydrated on these runs.
