Zone 2: Easy
A good chance to work on your 5k pace. If you can hit the quicker end of zone 6, then perfect. Don’t go too fast though, especially in the early reps.
There’s no Tuesday efforts this week because of the Spring 5K (a HR event on Wednesday, not too late to sign up). But some of us will also be in the park Monday evening if you wanted to join us. You could swap your speed session to then. Would be good to have you there and I plan to run as well. Any problems with the schedule just shout.

Working on our arms as runners is mainly superficial in truth, in the sense it won’t improve our running much but can help with confidence. Who doesn’t want bigger guns? This session should take no more than 30 mins, combine 2 exercises together (superset) to reduce the total time.
*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 you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.
