Every now and again I’ll be setting a weekly schedule and this tingle of excitement comes over me. In this case it’s the fact we are so close. Less than 14 days and I know how well prepared you are, I think that’s why I got excited. Obviously this week we reign it in a little, listen to the body, if at any stage you feel tired don’t be afraid to take a bit more rest. The half marathon tempo is just there to get the heart rate up a little. Keep going Rebecca, so close now.

*Need to do the reps on both legs (double the amount)
**2 sets of dumbbells, one in each hand.
You can superset two exercises together. I’ve tried to set it up like that. So you would do 15 reps of deadlifts, straight into 10 reps of Tricep Dips, and then repeat 3 times. Helps save on recoveries and can make the session shorter. It’s not essential, but an option.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
30 Mins @ HM Pace (RPE: 6)
10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.
80 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
