Week 6 Newsletter
Finding that next level
Stay Focussed
With only a few weeks to go before your final 10km run now is a good time to focus on getting the most out of your sessions.
Your Week 6 Saturday session has an 8km run for all of you. You have done this before so this is a good opportunity for you to take a risk and try to run at a faster pace than you normally do.
In this week's education we share one of Coach Bevan's Fitness Behaviour podcasts which has tools that you can use when the intensity kicks in.
Remember, it's about taking you to the next level.
