Big one Sunday. Longest run of the plan in terms of time. I would keep this very easy. The idea being we want to get 20 miles in without ruining the body. so for example if you averaged 6 min kms for 200 mins you obviously get past 32km. To be honest happy if you get to 32km in quicker time and feel tired, then stop. If you want a couple more (34km) just for confidence, that is fine, but DO NOT go beyond that, as that’s when diminishing returns kick in and you’ll just tire yourself out for next weeks training and even HHM. Any other issues just shout. I’ve tweaked the S&C slightly too so we hit the target pts.

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.

Home Legs Workout

Home Legs Workout

Squats

Single Leg Deadlift

3 x 15

Calf Raises

3 x 30

Wall Sits

3 x 60s

Bent Knee Calf Raises

3 x 30

Side Lunges

3 x 10*

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

Well done Matt

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Great work Matt

Just an opportunity to get some more miles in at marathon pace and really dial those splits in. Come race day we want marathon pace to feel comfortable.

Nice to keep practicing that marathon pace. As you found at TWells the biggest mistake you can make over the longer distances is going too fast, even more so in a marathon.

Just over 32km in the 200 min. It was alright.
These runs can begin to feel like a bit of a grind at this stage of the plan but you’ve done so well. Such a good block of training for your first marathon. You’re going to really well prepared compared to most. Excellent work Matt
