I’ve left track in for now (if back from your travels), it’s likely it will be worth a lot more than 20pts though, hence why the numbers don’t quite add up. I’ve done that as Tuesday is a hills session and rather you be hitting 5k pace on the flat right now. If my recovery keeps going well I might be up to your pace soon (hit 4:00 on the nose for my last km in the Spring 5k race). So I might try and stick with you for a few reps Monday to see where I am at. So that may benefit us both going forward. Any problems let me know. Try and keep those easy runs done at a low HR.

It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.

Bit jaded and feeling the effects of a week with lack of portion control, so a bit of sharpening up to do.
I didn’t realise you were back so late. Definitely banked at least 20pts though for this session so that’s all good. Get some rest and decent fuelling and you’ll be back on it. Well done Steve.

A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.

For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

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.

Due to work commitments I will need to flip Wednesday/Thursday
That’s cool, have flipped them over.

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.

Stretches but no run as not feeling 100%
Sorry to hear you are still feeling under the weather.

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.

45m E as body telling me to take it easy for a couple of days. If nothing else, I’ve become quite good over the years at listening to the messages.
Always important to listen to your body as you will know better than me what it’s capable of when you have been feeling poorly. Glad you were able to get out though.

“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”

Went off piste a bit and threw in an unscheduled very easy 50 mins as feeling 100% again. Back on the schedule tomorrow!
That’s cool, as you’d missed some runs earlier in the week made sense to get out and tick off some miles. Well done Steve.
