A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
I’ve kept this one relatively light and then we go into a more significant block. Still just easing you in slightly. So 2 nice easy runs and 2 decent sessions to tackle. The parkrun is an opportunity to put a marker down and see how close, or under that 20 minute mark you are right now. You could swap the 90 min and 60 mins run around if that works better, or even do the long run Sunday if you have more availability there. Just let me know if you do need to tweak it. It’s always a weird part of the season so soon after a big event like London, but every week counts and if you maintain the consistency now it will help going forward.

*reps/seconds on both sides
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.
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.

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.

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.
parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
