Hanneke May 2021 5:37pm, 16 May 2021 73,651 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke Had to joker both my long walk and hill rep walk last week. I have now entered the last week of the project, so on Saturday, I will run/walk the same 5k rout where I set my benchmark... Let's hope I can get my sessions in, it has been a challenge to get out, let alone drum up the energy for these designated seasions!

Hanneke May 2021 6:00pm, 16 May 2021 73,654 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke I syruggle to fit in the mileage for rts AND the project, largely because I forget to pace myself and just go out for a set route. Todays 7 kms counts as my long one for this final week. Now I must not completely forget to incorporate my hill reps somewhere! I find the tempo/treshold bit easiert. It suits walking most: I march uphill!
GimmeMedals May 2021 7:05pm, 16 May 2021 20,969 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals I wondered about that Ness. Quite a lot of miles, but at very slow pace with a lot of walking. I thought I'd do 5 x 800m to try and start running a bit further between walk breaks again, but without the pressure of trying to hit a certain pace.
Ness May 2021 7:18pm, 16 May 2021 15,202 posts	Quote Pin Ness That sounds like an idea. With no pressure on the pace and three minutes recovery slots in between it might help. Hope it goes well. I shall be attempting my threshold run tomorrow.
MisterTea May 2021 7:51pm, 16 May 2021 5,783 posts	Quote Pin MisterTea In a couple of weeks I want to add 200m reps to the 800m and 400m sets. Do I do 20 x 200 (to make up the same distance at 10 x 400 and 5 x 800). I'll find the suggested pace somewhere else on here I expect. And what about the length of the recovery? 1 minute jog?
