How to run it

Run the first 16 km at long run pace, then the last 6 km at marathon pace. Take a drink before the faster part, and hold the pace evenly rather than pushing on.

What it's for

Running marathon pace at the end of a long run practises it on tired legs, which is how it will feel on race day. It also rehearses fuelling and pacing when it matters.
