NOTES: Hi Libby, awesome results with your training pace, I'm really happy to see that all the work you have done is paying off ! Massive congratulation again. Now we are starting the hard part, this week is a big week with a double speed workout, and the following one your mileage for the long run increases a lot, 7km is a big one ! So these 2 weeks should feel pretty hard and you will accumulate fatigue, do not hesitate to slow down if the body does not follow, just take more time in the run and drop a little bit the pace and everything will be fine. Let me know if you have any issues and we will work around it.

NOTES:
Hi Libby, this week is the last one before we move into the specific work for Gone Nuts. What I need from you is to save your energy — the key workout this week is your threshold test on Sunday.

This test is simple: hold your fastest sustainable pace for the full hour. Pick the flattest path you can find (an athletic track is ideal) and you should be able to run without stopping.
If you record your warm-up and cool-down, make sure they’re separate activities. I only need the data from the full hour.

I’ve moved your easy run next week to Tuesday to make sure you’re fully recovered. Treat this threshold test like a race!

Ok Libby, here we are — back in training!
This time, we’re not training just to finish the race or cover the distance — we’re going for a PB. I can already tell you the training will be tougher, but totally worth it.
If anything comes up, just text me and we’ll work around it.
I’m sure you’re going to smash it! LET’S GO!!
