So Sunday will be the longest run in the plan as I’ve dropped next week back to 2 hours so we don’t overdo it. Let me know if you do want to tweak things around and change your speed session this week. Keep up the great work Jan.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.

*Signifies you need to do each side (so twice the number of reps)
This should be a good all round workout which will hopefully help with you keep those niggles at bay. The idea being we can slowly add to these. Those doing the best with their strength are the ones who keep it simple and consistent, week in week out.
If time is ever an issue. You can do some supersets. What is a superset? It means combined 2 exercises together, ideally ones that are different.
For example you might do 1 set of Bent Knee Calf Raises, and rather than just twiddle your thumbs for 60 seconds before doing the next set, you do a wall sit inbetween.
140 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3-6)
Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.
