Believe it or not this is a taper week. Tuesday’s session would be with the team but just make sure you’ve recovered from Sunday as it’s big one, you could always swap Tuesday and Thursday around if you wanted to. I’ve moved the S&C later in the week to give you that rest Monday. You could also move something to Saturday if you wanted to avoid 4 days on the spin. Next week will be even lighter.
Extra day’s rest was needed after the brutal (but needed/useful) leg massage on Monday. Easy runs I kept easy and they were fine, the mara session wasn’t fun but was also fine in the end. S&C was OK too. Hip not playing up as much, probably as I’m doing less!
I’ll hopefully be doing less house stuff once the scaffolding is taken away this week, but I will still struggle to rest properly on rest days as there’s always so much to do.
I’m going to sneak around one night this week and pull down the scaffolding and hide your drumsticks so you are forced to rest more 😂 In all seriousness though it’s an interesting point you make and is why we need to find a good balance with the training to keep you on an even keel. Well done for hitting the targets this week Sam.

A chance to get some important marathon paced miles in. Should feel relatively comfortable, but also like you are running with good form. If conditions are tough or hills are involved, focus on RPE rather than pace.
