First recovery week of the plan, we do this every 4th week just to give the body a chance to absorb the recent training load, but then it allows us to ramp up the pts again for the next 4 weeks of the plan. So not much in the way of hard work, just a slightly quicker parkrun if that’s ok with the buggy. Again you can base this off heart rate, but pace wise we definitely want to be no quicker than Zone 5. Hopefully this week feels more manageable and you feel fresh come the end. Keep up the great work Mark.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
*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.
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.
Basically 5k but at your 10k pace or zone 5 heart rate. What data metric you choose will depend on the elevation or conditions, as that will have more impact on your pace.
