HHM is coming. So we need to increase that long run distance. The most we go up to in this plan is 150 mins, but if you feel good at the end of 120 this week don’t be afraid to tag and extra 10 on. This would allow us to go a bit higher pre HHM and would boost your confidence ahead of the race. All that said, 120 mins is still the aim. Any issues let me know know but keep up the great work Debbie.
I feel like that was a really strong week. I’m enjoying the consistency and think that might be what’s helping as the long runs taken at my pace are definitely not as tough as they can be.
It’s that consistency that makes all the difference as the weeks tick by, which they can do very quickly you slowly start to notice the difference, so I’m really pleased to hear you are feeling the benefits. Great work Debbie. Currently at 97% of training overall which is a fantastic number. Keep it up.
Let me know if there are any machines you would like to add. Keep it consistent and you’ll continue to get stronger.
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.
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Flexibility is definitely very important to runners and yoga can help in that area!
