So exciting that we have reached race week and I think you’ve done so well during this plan to get those big runs ticked off. I’m buzzing for you because I think you’ll all have fantastic time running this race, what a cool thing to be doing with friends. You should be really proud of how far you’ve come and in a weeks time you’ll be an ultra runner. Bring it on.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

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.

50K @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-5)
So important to respect the distance and get the pacing right. If you go off at a comfortable enough pace, then you’ll run a good race. Keep fuelling even if you don’t feel like it. Ultra’s have been described as “eating contests” by some of the leading runners. Walk the hills if need be.
