If you’re free Saturday and the forecast is favourable for a quick parkrun we can switch that with Thursdays session if need be. But another really solid week. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Glenn.
Good week. Noted re: parkrun, got sucked into trying to keep pace with others.
Great work Glenn. No worries about parkrun. I think it also highlights the potential to train a little bit harder in the future. No need for us to push yet, but the higher the pts we train at the faster we get, and you’ve go a lot of scope to increase that, compared to some of the others already training close to their max.

1km @ 5k Pace (RPE: 8)
2 minutes recovery
x5
2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
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.
1 Mile WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
3 Miles @ HM Pace (RPE: 6)
2 Miles @ 10k Pace (RPE: 7)
1 Mile @ 5K Pace (RPE: 8)
1 Mile CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A good 10k session this, especially for anyone who has a habit of starting races too fast. This should allow you to finish strong. Work hard in those last 3 miles, that’s your opportunity to improve your fitness.
Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.
“Easy means Easy! Not 5k pace, not 10k pace, not even marathon pace. Easy pace!! 😉”
Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.
Thank you.
