A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
129pts if my maths is correct? That’s a decent level to be training at right now. With the 200s lined up for Friday we can follow the session they set for Monday which is unlikely to be quicker than 5k pace (they have an obsession with doing 30 minutes at the moment). But that’s ok to do the threshold work if we get the speed later in the week. Keep the easy runs easy and the combination of strength work makes for an excellent schedule. Get everything done and you will definitely be making gains. It’s hard, but if it were easy everyone would do it. You got this Steve.

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.

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.

A real opportunity to work on both speed and good running economy. Train faster to race faster. I love this session.
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.
