FREE Bonus

If you follow the plan for the first 6 weeks, then please email Sean and Fiona a link to  all your data (On Strava or Garmin Connect) then they will calculate a Race pace guideline for the day. Knowing a pace to start a HM is essential to get the best out  of your performance, all too frequently athletes start a HM too fast and pay the price after 10 miles. Sean and Fiona would like to help you achieve the best possible  performance on the day and cross the finish line with a sweaty smile!
