The hard work is done. Tapers can be tough because you feel like you should be doing more, but don’t. You need to get to race day feeling fighting fit and well rested. So stay patient. Any issues just let me know.

Home Legs Workout

5 POINTS

Home Legs Workout

Squats

3 x 15

Single Leg Deadlift

3 x 15

Calf Raises

3 x 30

Wall Sits

3 x 60s

Bent Knee Calf Raises

3 x 30

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

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.

Done. Felt surprisingly bad today. Heart rate jumped straight to 170. More of a struggle than i have had in recent months. Felt fine again wednesday. Might simply be because of time of run and meals
Some days are just like that. Interested I have another chap called James, training for a sub 3:30 this month and said exactly the same thing, doing the exact same session having smashed out loads of big MP runs of late. I wouldn’t worry, race day will feel better.

60 Mins & Strides

60 Mins & Strides

60 Mins Run

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

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.

Done. A little bit slower than marathon pace but close, felt good
Great to hear. Glad this one felt good. Definitely want these easy runs over the next few weeks to be slower than MP otherwise you’ll reach the start line a little tired. Well done Matt
