Every 4th week we take a recovery week. That means the training reduces in volume or intensity. It’s just a way for the body to absorb the recent training load, and then we kick on again the following 3 weeks. Plus it’s always there when you are working hard to know a recovery week is never that far away. Tuesday efforts with the gang, Wednesday easy and then parkrun Saturday. Decent week. Any issues just shout.

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
4 Mins @ 5K Pace (RPE: 8)
2 Mins Recovery
x 5
10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Ideally you’re looking to match or beat your current 5k pace. This is a really simple but effective session. Working to time rather than distance allows you to do these sessions with runners of different ability. Very best of luck,
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜
A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
