NOTES: Hi Libby, as we dicussed by message, with a short training period to the next race we will change the method of training a little bit. We will use a bit of MAF training during the week instead of some speed workouts. MAF training is simple, you try to keep your heart rate around your average. Let me know how it feels. For your long run, we keep the progression with slow pace and a small amount of fast pace, also if you can alternate between road and trail for your long runs as we need to get your body ready to put the 21km as fast as possible on a harder surface. You are doing well, keep pushing!

NOTES: Hi Libby, we are starting to work on your speed and we have to work on your strength as well, mostly to get your glutes. Your half marathon will be on road so try to do most of your runs on hard surfaces. I will recommend to only do your long run on trail to get a bit of soft terrain under your feet.
