Back to back long runs have been very effective in a lot of my plans so that is the focus this weekend. We’ve got two more big weeks of training before we ease back slightly so keep working hard, knowing the easier weeks are ahead. You got this Sarah.

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.
Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.
