A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
Posting this with a little uncertainty surrounding the ankle still, so if that is a problem let me know. I’ve tweaked Tuesday from the original plan to put in a first threshold session. I’d be interested to hear your feedback on the two sessions this week and what you preferred and found more enjoyable and productive. Any questions about the threshold session let me know. But all being well, a bit week on the cards with 145pts on the table. Keep up the great work James.

*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.

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
3km @ 10k Pace (RPE: 7)
2km @ 5k Pace (RPE: 8)
1km @ 3km Pace (RPE: 9)
2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Credit to TRC for this one. A progression run, which would work very nicely with parkrun, albeit you need to do 1km fast beforehand.

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.
*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.
Coach Simon๐ “Make a note of RPM & the resistance level so you can increase them as you do more sessions.” Recoveries in between intervals are the same as the effort. So 30 and 60 seconds easy pace.
Try and hit a pace somewhere in Zone 5: 10k. If the route is not flat you can focus on heart rate instead and try to avoid drifting into Zone 6. This should feel comfortably hard.
