I don’t like the idea of chasing missed runs and a big run Monday could tire you out for the rest of the week. We’re still on track to hit the targets for the plan. One thing we could tweak is add Monday track given you didn’t run at the weekend? The two sessions are similar. Then just a bit of marathon pace on Friday to see how that feels. Any problems let me know. It’s a big week, but this is the level the 3:00-3:15 marathon runners on the team are training at.

Classic session. Super simple. The end result being you have a better understanding of your current time for a 5K. Work hard and ideally finish each rep a few seconds quicker than your current 5k pace.

Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

Should feel relatively comfortable this, but always good to get some extra miles in at goal pace.

150 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.
