A lighter recovery week so only 80pts up for grabs. It’s the handicap race next Tuesday with Hastings Runners? Are you around? Might be a good one for you to do as I feel like you’re running much better than your most recent 5k time. Tuesday’s session is what the group will be doing and it’s designed with the handicap race in mind. Keep the other runs easy. How are the S&C going? I could ramp that up a little by adding a few more exercises into the mix. But overall, keep doing what you are doing.

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.
*reps/seconds on both sides
If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
