A very light week in the build up to Sunday. Ideally we would want to get HYROX done earlier in the week if you can. So what about Eastbourne. We’ve not really been training for a pace and the most important thing is to get round. But I’ve seen signs in recent weeks you are running well, better than just going round at an easy pace. I’m always a fan of following a pacing group if you can. 2:10? 2:15? Perhaps? It means you can just switch off and let them do the work for you. Happy to discuss a goal if you wanted. Any problems with the schedule just shout.

A good session to practice some HM pace, but also appreciate the variation between the speeds at different distances. Work hard, run tall, smile. You got this.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 30 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.
