Hi TheEd
Just to let you know I have completed the first 3 days:
Day 1 - I kept this very steady. Ran for just under 85 mins at an average pace of 5:13/km. Covered just over 16km. RPE was a 5-6 with average HR 132
Day 2 - Covered around 6.5km at a pace of 4:41/km - RPE 6 with average HR 143
Day 3 - Did the 3 x 2km as suggested. Struggled to control the pace initially, but averaged it out over the 2km splits to hit the goal paces. My splits were 7:55 (3:53, 4:02), 7:37 (3:45, 3:52), 7:19 (3:38, 3:41). RPE was a 7-8, max HR 177.
Keen to hear your thoughts on how I should take things from here?
I also had a question on the Saturday long run. If I go for 1.5hrs this is likely to be a pretty similar workout to day 1, is that intended or should I be doing different paces?
Many thanks,
Ben
