If it still says 5 x 5 mins threshold Tuesday when you read this give me a nudge, I’m slowly adding threshold session to the dashboard so might give you something that isn’t so similar to last week. Keep the rest easy for now. Next week is the Alan Corke, hilly as fuck 10k in Hastings Country park. Hastings Runners only. I would be reluctant to do this one at this stage as it could set you back but entirely up to you. It’s currently in the plan. I think patience is a good idea with races like Bewl 15, Pier to Pier and then the Amble much better suited for you. Any problems let me know.

First rep will need to be focused on pace to get that HR up to just below LT2. Then once there, use HR to dictate pace and RPE and avoid hitting or going over LT2.
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.
