Get those guns firing! Take 30 seconds recovery between sets.
I’ve eased back slightly this week to try and leave you fresh for PW next week. If you fancied giving track a go, we can easily swap Monday & Tuesday in the schedule. As I say first 2 sessions are free. I think you’d enjoy it. Costing myself £2 here, but I’ll always recommended what I think is best for you and will help you get the best out of your running.

Get those guns firing! Take 30 seconds recovery between sets.
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).
Recoveries: 90 seconds all reps
Credit TRC for this one. Imperative to stick to half marathon pace in that first 15 minute tempo. Otherwise you’ll be too fatigued to hit target 5k pace in the shorter reps.
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.
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.
A good opportunity to practice your half marathon goal pace during a midweek tempo run. Factor in hills and weather, which may effect pace, in which case nail the right RPE.
