Little bit of an easier week in between race weekends. So no need to do anything too big Saturday. Slight switch up for the S&C to include some core work. Let me know how you get on with that. Cut some of the exercises short if need be, you can build up to the targets over the next few weeks. Tuesday is always a good session though and a chance to inject a bit of speed into the legs.

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.
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.
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
