Another week with 100pts up for grabs. I’ve put a 10k session in there which will give you a chance to practice your 10k pace ahead of next weeks race. On the long run it’s probably worth adding in a few hills. It’s the last run of over 60 mins before HHM. So that’s good news, but also means it’s an important one to get done. But you are doing so well, keep it up Maria.
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.
Recoveries: 30-60s. If time is limited then do 2 exercises together and remove the recoveries.
*Each side (double the reps). So 2 x 30 second Side Planks = 4 in total (2 on each side).

Quality 10k session. These are the runs where the magic happens.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
All about time on feet. Don’t focus on pace. Instead keep that effort level down and concentrate on good running economy. Fuelling and hydration key too.
