If you did your 10k session, then look to run your 6 x 1km, 10 seconds per km quicker than the average pace for the 2k\u2019s you ran. There is no need to go quicker.<\/p>\n If you have some feedback, then go onto the forums so you can get a response to your individual needs. It will be interesting to see your pulse range, if your easy runs are at 140 bpm, your 1k session should be edging towards 180. Though, each of you can be different.<\/p>\n Easy Runs<\/strong> \u2013 By now, you should have some data to work off related to whether 140 bpm easy suits you and works for you. Do discuss things further on the forums to get the full benefit of the programs.<\/p>\n Rest <\/strong>\u2013 is no exercise \u2013 do note, that as you develop, you can consider doing strength exercises for the upper body and doing stretching to assist your recovery. Active recovery is now part of the training cycle, see details below. Please use the forum to clarify things and to take your training to the next level. <\/p>\n Active Recovery<\/strong> – This is aimed at doing a non weight-bearing form of exercise as a form of recovery. If you are an experienced cyclist we can discuss you using cycling as a form of recovery. However, cycling can often have a reverse effect on the runner if everything is not in order with regards to saddle height etc. You need to recover during active recovery, so this is why swimming is often the better alternative.<\/p>\n You can print the program out and fill in your own comments and then as you develop you can ask further questions on the forum provided<\/p>\n Tallinn Half Marathon Training Forum<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/forums\/thread-3715.html<\/a><\/p>\n Tallinn Half Marathon Training Programs Level 4<\/strong><\/p>\n Level 4 – Tallinn Half Marathon program Week 1 – 4<\/a><\/p>\n Level 4 – Tallinn Half Marathon program Week 5 – 8<\/a><\/p>\n |
