Let’s get some speed in the legs and see what happens. Monday should be fun and then Wednesday let’s do the Spring 5K and remain positive.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
200 Metres @ Target Times (RPE: 9)
60 Sec Recovery
x 16
2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A real opportunity to work on both speed and good running economy. Train faster to race faster. Love 200s. Go get ’em!
A pretty challenging session working on your upper body and the core. Both are important as runners to ensure we continue to run with good form.
A great form of cross trainer for us runners. Take a few minutes to warm up at find your stride but then push hard. You can real bang for your buck with just 30 mins on the stair climber. I hit around level 10 when doing these but find the right speed for you that you can maintain, but you find this tough.

I’m a big fan of consistent splits. With any race avoiding getting swept away with the crowds is key, so focus on that early pace and hold back, settle into a rhythm. Km 4 is often the hardest, so zone in on 4 and dig deep. You got this!
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
A good all round session to work the legs. You should have built up to this fairly gradually, so don’t dive in head first as you want to take your time building your strength. Be sensible with the weights to begin with.
If short on time combine 2 exercises together (superset) them to save on the recoveries.

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.
