Decent week here. The speed with the ramp up (if hitting just under your targets hopefully it won’t feel as vile). The 10k session which is good prep for the 5 miler and then the easy miles, combined with your S&C. All the ingredients we need for a decent week and continue to make progress. Keep smashing the shit out of the training!!! Any issues, let me know.

Always a favourite with the team! Keep that first rep at 5k pace and then start to ramp up that speed. Enjoy!
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.
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.
See how you fair with this session for now and we can always make some changes. It’s a strong all round workout that covers all fundamental movement patterns along with all the key muscle groups. If there is any area you feel is particularly weak and needs work I can add different exercises in. I like to keep the S&C simple and those that have stuck to their routines and not made continual changes have made real progress.
