Thanks for helping with the 5 mile race. Really appreciate that. We only need 1 set of strides this week, so Thursday or Saturday before parkrun. If you wanted to do the extra 10 on Sunday that’s fine. 120pts is a good level though and should definitely see you making some gains. Keep up the great work Ben.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

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.

I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load. Don’t forget those strides as well (if highlighted)

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.
