If doing this as a threshold session, keep the HR below LT2. If not focus on hitting those paces or working to an RPE of 7/10.
This is the last week of plan 1 and feels like we are just starting to see that progress and hopefully the introduction of efforts again has made it more enjoyable. Let me know if you’re keen to continue and I will put a form up on the dashboard to be filled out, just with any dates you can’t do or perhaps a few races which might peak your interest. Hopefully you can also make the Tuesday group again. There is also the Hastings Runner 5 miler Sunday if that was of interest. It would mean you could run twice and get the target pts.

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
*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.

Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
