🏃 TRAINING TIPS: WEEK 5 – PACE 🏃‍♀️

Finding the right pace can make every run more enjoyable and effective! 💙

This week, focus on running at the right pace for the session — easy runs should feel comfortable, while your harder sessions should challenge you without leaving you completely spent.

⏱️ Know your easy pace
📈 Build your speed gradually
💪 Don’t rush the process
🏃 Practise your target race pace
🎯 Stay consistent

Remember: not every run needs to be fast. Control your pace, trust your training and save your best effort for race day! 🔥
