Kind of easing back in. I may tweak Tuesday’s session slightly so it’s more threshold based than 10k based. Just something I’m still working on introducing at the moment. But I think it will benefit you. Then Sunday getting the 2 hours in, but just pushing the pace a little. If it’s an undulating route the focus on RPE and HR. We should probably just be a little over LT1 at marathon pace, certainly nowhere near LT2. Any issues or questions just ask. Keen to get back into the good habits of 2 x S&C if we can and have kept Friday short based on your feedback.

First rep will need to be focused on pace to get that HR up to just below LT2. Then once there, use HR to dictate pace and RPE and avoid hitting or going over LT2.
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. To get your heart rate into zone 2 you’ll probably find you need to work quite hard but that’s a good thing.
20 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
20 Mins @ Marathon Pace (RPE: 5)

A good opportunity to practice some marathon pace on your long run. Crucial if you have a time in mind. Also sometimes a good option to add some variety to a normal 2 hour long run.
