Zone 1: Recovery
You’ll likely need to push the pace a little just to get the heart rate into Zone 1, so don’t be fooled into thinking this will be an easy bike ride.
Race week. I think given how this plan has gone you arrive in really good shape. It’s somehow worked out well. But treat it as a free hit Sunday, whatever happens is a bonus really, but that’s not to say you can’t go out there and run a really strong race. Tuesday just chuck in some race pace miles, Friday nice and light to keep the legs ticking over. But I’m excited to see what you can produce, especially after that course PB at the Alan Corke a few weeks back. Go smash it Steve.

Should feel relatively comfortable this, but always good to get some extra miles in at goal pace.
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.
This is likely to be Bewl 15 as it’s the only 15 mile race I know of. Marathon pace is a good target here as the trails and likely warm conditions will slow you down a fraction, not to mention the hills late on.
