We’ve built up to 120 mins now. It might be you want to bring that forward to Saturday to give a rest day ahead of next week. If ever planning on doing track on the following Monday you want to make sure you don’t long run Sunday. Something to bear in mind. But another strong week here with speed work, long run, easy run, S&C and cross training. All the ingredients needed for progress.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.

A good workout that will cover all the fundamental movement patterns and key muscle groups in the legs.
