A recovery week, but we keep that quality. Track I’ve been told is going to be a ramp up session which I really like so a chance to practice 5k pace and quicker. Then it should be pacers day at parkrun too if you wanted to give that a crack on Saturday. If not let me know and we can always swap that out for 100 mins easy run, depending how the legs feel. Any issues let me know, but keep up the good work Steve.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
Always a favourite with the team! Keep that first rep at 5k pace and then start to ramp up that speed. Enjoy! Recoveries are 90 seconds accept for the 1 minute reps where you drop to 60 seconds.

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.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
