A good session Monday just to practice some 5k pace ahead of Thursday, but don’t push too hard in that one. The one thing worries me a little is the gym work the day after the 5k, so depending how you feel post race you might want to move that to Saturday. Any other problems let me. What is the route like Thursday? A quick one? Keep up the great work Laura. Also we are the peak of the training in terms of points (130), so I would be interested to know how you find this workload. If it feels too high then perhaps we need to reign it in a fraction.

A good session to start off with your 5k pace and then pick up the speed as we move into the shorter reps. See if you can finish with your fastest lap in that final rep!!

This was one session too many after a weekend of running and golf. Legs felt completely dead didn’t improve at all during the run. 5×3 fully complete pace ok in rep one then well off but legs wouldn’t go any quicker. Did the first 2 min rep felt like I was running on treacle and called it. Felt like going on risked injury. This morning was the only slot I had free due to physio tonight and the race Thursday. Pretty sure I would have been able to complete this with 12 more hours recovery. There is a chance I move Tuesdays run to Friday as a post race recovery jog depending on how I feel post physio. Cool down extended by 6 mins as I had some spare time.
24pts for the day with the stretching, so a decent start to the week. And sounds like you made the right choice. I took an extra rest day last week cos my knee was hurting, it happens from time to time in a plan and only we as runners know what is best for us in that moment. So it has to be our decision and I will always support that. Really hope you feel fully recovered in the next 24-36 hours. Well done Laura

I’m a big fan of consistent splits. With any race avoiding getting swept away with the crowds is key, so focus on that early pace and hold back, settle into a rhythm. Km 4 is often the hardest, so zone in on 4 and dig deep. You got this!
