Get those guns firing! Take 30 seconds recovery between sets.
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.

Get those guns firing! Take 30 seconds recovery between sets.
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).
10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
8 x 2 Mins @ 3K Pace (RPE: 8)
90 Second Recovery
8 x 1 Min @ <3K Pace (RPE: 9)
60 Second Recovery
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.
| Squats | 45s x 2 |
| Calf Raises | 30s x 2 |
| Split Squat | 60s x 2 |
| Wall Sits | 60s x 2 |
| Single Leg Deadlift | 60s x 2 |
| Crab Walks | 30s x 2 |
15 minutes. Bish. Bash. Bosh. Add some weights once ready to progress with some of the exercises.
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.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
