A lighter week. I’ve started putting stretches into plans if that is of interest? I know you mentioned Yoga? Again either of those would mean we can potentially reduce the volume of running a fraction and still hit your targets. It’s an approach I’m trying as I realise how bad my flexibility is and to run my best in the future I need to improve that.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
90 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
