A recovery week, so no need to do a long run. But we’ve got 2 good speed sessions and hopefully conditions will be good for parkrun. Pacers day, so perhaps attempt to follow the 21 for a bit and see how that goes. Albeit it would need to be decent conditions to attempt that. But keep up the great work. Enjoy the lighter week as the training continues to build after this.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.

Enjoyed that. Nice to have Jimmy Elford to chase :)
He’s running well Jimmy, annoyingly well. But to be fair to him he played football at a high level for 15 years whilst I was golfing so no wonder he is so fit. But another strong session Glenn.

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.

Steady run, all good

Zone 2: Easy

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Took the PB down a little further. Happy with that.
Congrats on the PB Glenn. As I said a few times I think long term you’re a sub 20 5k runner. But chip away at a slower. I think Matt B who I work with has had about 15 parkrun PBs since we teamed up as he knocks a few seconds off each time and that’s probably the best way of doing it, rather than say your next PB being sub 20:30. But great work Glenn.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

Steady run, a little stiff after park run yesterday
Sounds like 50 mins was about right then. Well done Glenn
