Recoveries: 30-60s. If time is limited then do 2 exercises together and remove the recoveries.
*Each side (double the reps). So 2 x 30 second Side Planks = 4 in total (2 on each side).
Sunday is the key session here. You could bring it forward to Saturday if you want and finish the last section with park run ๐ค The key is adding a bit of variety to the paces and finishing strongly on tired legs. Any problems let me know. Going really well right now though, so keep up the great work.

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.
If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

A good bit of variation on a 2 hour long run. Not too demanding but it breaks it up nicely and also gets you practicing half marathon pace on tired legs.
