First week of the taper. This is your lowest pts week in about 3 months, so whilst it still looks busy, it is definitely a step back and next week will be lighter again. I do like chucking in a quick parkrun at this stage of a block as your fitness levels should be good right now and we want to test that. Any problems let me know but keep ticking off the sessions, you’re training lately has been superb.

Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.

Just an opportunity to get some more miles in at marathon pace and really dial those splits in.

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 that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
