I’ve doubled up Friday because that would allow Sunday as a rest day. Pudding Dash is in there as a high effort run. So if you did only want to take it easy we’d probably need to do a Sunday run of sorts. So let me know if your plans are to run easy Saturday and I can tweak the schedule. Any other issues just shout, but keep up the great work Alison.

Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.
A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.
A really quick 12 minute core workout!! 30s recovery between reps. Click on the exercise to view a Tutorial.
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.
Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
