A drop back in pts this week just to have you fresher for the half next week. Any problems let me know. Potentially you could lose one of the weekend runs as well and perhaps swap it for some cross training. But excited to be so close to race day with you running so well.
Combining legs and arms into one session. Working the upper body isn’t essential as runners but it’s good to feel strong and it can help with technique. You can switch out some of these exercises for similar alternatives if you find it easier. Just be careful not to overwork the same muscle groups.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
Combining both the legs and core into one good session can offer some good variety. Be sure to be sensible if you do change up any of your weights or use different exercises.
*Recoveries: 2 Mins Between All Reps
Big session this so start off at 10k pace and then look to hit 5k pace for the last 4 reps. Always focus on running tall and staying relaxed.

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.

If you are training for a specific time in a half marathon, getting some miles in at goal pace is key. If it’s early in your plan don’t worry too much if you’re little off pace at this stage. With the upcoming training that should improve over the weeks. In that scenario don’t give up, hold a consistent pace and RPE throughout.
