I’ve made some tweaks this week as we did have a 3.5 hour long run in there, but I’ve dropped that to 2.5 and put in a half marathon session during the week . There is quite a lot in there, with the 4 runs, all fairly big, so if it feels too much, let me know and we can tweak it. But I would say just focus on 1 day, 1 session at a time and often it’s never as bad as it feels at the start of the week.

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 accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
