Combining legs and arms into one session.
Only 3 runs this week but 2 of them are pretty tasty. Firstly the 5k handicap, no need to overdo things here, just put in a solid shift and see what happens. Then the first big marathon session Sunday. This should give us a good idea where the fitness is at. Really it’s a 1:45 half marathon which a couple of extra km on the end. When you look at it from that angle and the half times you’ve already achieved this year it should be achievable. Any problems let me know, but let’s make this a big week. Keep smashing it Michael.

Combining legs and arms into one session.
I’m a big fan of consistent splits. With any race avoiding getting swept away with the crowds is key, so focus on that early pace and hold back, settle into a rhythm. Km 4 is often the hardest, so zone in on 4 and dig deep. You got this!
Great session. If short on time superset a few exercises. Let’s do this 💪
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Keep that heart rate in Zone 2. You might feel like RPE is higher, as it’s a tough exercise, but a good opportunity to really improve your aerobic engine without the heavy impact of running.
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.
