Two important runs this week. The hills is great prep for you and also the biggest run of this plan before the Centurion 50k. In an ideal world picking a route where you can cover some decent mileage might be a good idea. How about the SDW if time allows? That trail should be fairly dry right now. I’ll add a tempo run in next week when the long run isn’t so demanding. Keep up the great work Anna.

This session should last 40 minutes. Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.

So you might reach lamppost 12 in 20 mins, then next rep will be to lamppost 11, then 10, then 9 and so on, eventually returning to 1.

Use the downhill as your recovery. You should be working at an RPE of 8 up the hill, and a 3 downhill.

A tough session so important to pace yourself well. If you really want to make it challenge, push the pace downhill as well.

Cool, I like this session! Had a bit in the middle where I felt my blood sugar was too low (this despite pasta at 4 and a banana at 5!) But I had a couple of running sweets and was okay for the last 5-10 mins.
Great session Anna, you definitely finished strongly. It’s why I like this session as everyone finds another effort as the reps get shorter. Love where you are at right now with your running.

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.

Deliberately missed to rest leg.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Good news is leg was fine! I could feel it after the run, but not at all during it. I think skipping Thursday run was a good call. I’m struggling with the intercostal muscle pain now πŸ˜₯πŸ™„… it doesn’t stop me running but running does exacerbate it… Anyway, sun was out which was bloody lovely.
It was a beautiful day. Glad the leg was ok on this occasion. Sorry to hear about the rib though, doesn’t sound much fun.

All about time on feet. Don’t push the pace early on and ensure you are well hydrated and have fuel to take on at regular intervals.

Gutted to miss this but guess it’s better to let my rib heal, and who knows, maybe a few days off will stop that tiny leg niggles turning into a problem! I did a 10km walk in the country park, so at least still moving!
I think sensible. The way to look at it is you have so many miles banked in your locker that even missing this one won’t stop you in the 50k. So I’m not worried. I’d rather you rest up and feel better.
