I’ve made the tweaks. I don’t like the idea of 4 days on the spin though and to negate that I’ve put a quick parkrun in, instead of the hills. If we get the strides in and a good WU & CD before parkrun you’ll still hit the targets for the week, without the 4th session. And I’ve tweaked the midweek run to avoid 2 lots of strides but still get the pts we need.
Week disrupted by back problems and work. Finished ok with the getting out there on a Sunday despite the weather and back not too bad
It’s rare a plan ever goes smoothly. Especially the winter block where illness are common. Sounds positive about the back and hopefully those stretches will make a big difference.

A really quick 12 minute core workout!! 30s recovery between reps. Click on the exercise to view a Tutorial.
Rather than just head out and do 60 mins easy, this goes through the gears a little and will hopefully help you improve running economy as the speed picks up a little. It’s still a light session but makes the easy runs more interesting. Best done on the flat to hit consistent paces.

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
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.
