I hate setting just “easy runs” but I feel it’s what we need right now as the weeks are ticking buy and feel like we’ve been missing the miles lately. What can we expect to cover at the weekend, 60k? That would be perfect, with the 100k less than 3 months away. Tuesday off road is now open for business as well. There’s plenty of parkruns in the plan post RTTS so that will be the speed covered. Any problems just shout.

90 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

Lurgy! :-(

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.

I did 64 minutes, 12km. Felt OK although legs were stiff and a bit sore – my knee tends to ache for the first km until I warm up properly, even after a decent warmup at home. Still coughing and congested but didn’t struggle at this slowish pace, was nice to get some fresh air. Ran all the way home up the hills too, what a hero.
Always a hero to me πŸ˜‚ Glad you managed to get this in and are feeling better. I’ll give you 1 bonus point for the extra 4 mins as I’m in a good mood today.

Time to make sure your fuelling and hydration is on point. 30-60g of carbs per hour. The longer the run goes on the tougher it will get.

30.5km, 543m climbing and exactly 3 hours. Lovely evening up to fairlight, then down to Pett Level and on to Icklesham then Westfield. Was way ahead of schedule so did some loops of Westfield before heading to the finish point. Some of the climbs were hard but kept it slow and steady. Got wet feet and attacked by a billion gnats, but saw a load of very cute lambs so it was fine. Trying out a new drink – Torq Energy (used to just use their Hydration fluid), gave me some acid reflux :-/
Class that you’ve smashed this out on a Friday evening. Awesome work. The lamp in the middle of the henge was a great photo. I thought it was an AI job for moment. Great work Sam and sensible to be trialling any new fuelling on runs like this. Slightly jealous in fact of this one as would love to spend that amount of time out on the trails

A nice flat 30km, a bit under 3 hours but the distance was there so hopefully that’s OK. Headed along the coast to Eastbourne with Laura, she maintained the same pace but cut it short to 28k as her foot developed a big blister and we were running tight on timing for the train home (amid many cancellations) so she peeled off early. Kept it nice and steady, legs felt like lead for the first 500m but soon woke up and I was fine, but wouldn’t have been able to go much quicker comfortably after the previous evening. Got into a nice easy groove then picked the pace up for the last 4km after leaving Laura – felt nice to get a bit more speed in the legs after two long runs but I was very glad when I finished! Hip and calves a bit tight but not too painful. Energy drink still gave me acid reflux so I don’t think it’s for me, annoying! Recovered pretty quick from this weekend 60km and my cold is starting to bugger off thankfully.
Banking 60km in such short space of time is the key. And also the fact you recovered so quickly from it, is awesome news. Very promising signs for both the RTTS and 🐍 Great running these past two days. Well done Sam.
