A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
It looks crammed but there is a lot of good S&C and stretching in there to improve on those weaknesses you listed. Monday is a technical session at track and likely to be 8 x 2 min reps. So not as good as we’d like, but hopefully still good to listen to the coaches and might be valuable to pick up a few tips. Any issues let me know. Plan number 2 is under way.

It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.
*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 an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Pace is the best thing to focus on here. You should be at the lower end or even under your 3k target here. A great chance to get some speed in the legs.
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.
