A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
I really like this week. I’ve made some tweaks but I think this is going to showcase how I want to do things slightly differently going forward. So rather than doing 20 mins of 5k work the same week as a parkrun, we go bigger in terms of volume, but reduce that intensity. So on Tuesday we are banking 7km of work. You can do this to pace if you like or sub threshold. The two are very similar based on the data I am seeing. If doing it sub LT2 you should find it feels challenging, but you get comfortable with that speed and effort as the reps go on. I’m hoping that Tuesday session goes really well. It also means we don’t always have to be 2 hours on the Sunday. It’s not crucial every week. Any issues let me know. But I like this a lot.

*reps/seconds on both sides
A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.
For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.
If on a calm day and a flat stretch, focus on pace. If the loop or route has elevation or windy conditions, hitting the right heart rate makes this similar to a threshold session.

*Recoveries: 30 Seconds after the 30 second reps, 60 seconds after the 60 second reps. Simples.
Coach Simon๐ “Make a note of RPM & the resistance level so you can increase them as you do more sessions.” Recoveries in between intervals are the same as the effort. So 30 and 60 seconds easy pace.

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.

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.
