  • Thanks I’ll check both of those out. Which out the HH plans do you think I should go with?

    Current running is mostly about getting miles in - one or two hilly runs per week (race pace), one long run (tempo) and one speed session on track or intervals.

    Plan is to do a HM in early summer

  • If you're already doing hills and intervals then Advanced 1 (one "speed" session per week), or even Advanced 2 (2 x speed sessions per week). To be honest, you can use either one as a template and guide to building up the volume, and just tweak either way according to how you're feeling, e.g. I see that Advanced 2 has a couple of proper sessions midweek, but then often the weekend has a longish run at "race pace" on the Saturday, and the Sunday long run. I think these sessions actually work well back-to-back because you get used to running your long run on tired legs... BUT it might be a bit much if you're tired from the week. So maybe Advanced 1 to begin with and see how you get on. Being able to build up the long run mileage is a lot more important than getting your rep times down.
