Alternatively if running the jogalong on 3 July, it is appropriate to ease back from the hard training and see what can be achieved – as follows
Thursday 30 June just an easy run
Friday 1 July just an easy run again, or rest.
Saturday 2 July just an easy run as a warm-up for Sunday
Sunday 3 July race jogalong 6k – go for it – breakthrough time!

Week eight

Tuesday 05 July rest
Wednesday 06 July 2 x 2k surging the home straight
Thursday 07 July 60 to 90

Sunday 10 July 10 x 100m sprints.

If you are training at Dickson on Thursdays with us, you can skip the Wednesday training and just do Thursday’s run on Wednesdays or Tuesdays instead.

If you cannot do the Monday Hill session, have another session at the gym like Friday’s instead.
