Hanneke May 2021 5:37pm, 16 May 2021 73,651 posts	0 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!

Ness May 2021 5:56pm, 16 May 2021 15,201 posts	0 Ness You’ve done quite a lot in the past few days though, GM. About 22 miles, I can see from a quick glance at your training. Can you do them later in the afternoon to give your legs a bit of a rest beforehand? Take care x
Hanneke May 2021 6:00pm, 16 May 2021 73,654 posts	0 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	0 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	0 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	0 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?
