Recoveries: 30-60s. If time is limited then do 2 exercises together and remove the recoveries.
*Each side (double the reps). So 2 x 30 second Side Planks = 4 in total (2 on each side).
It’s just really a case now of getting HHM done and then we can lay down some new goals and focus on a new plan. This period in between Brighton and the new plan will be challenging, but keep ticking off the sessions and just now this is preparation for your next training block. Any problems with the schedule this week let me know, but we want to keep it relatively light for now.

A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.

Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. This session is tough but will really help you make big gains. Use the downhill as a light recovery jog, so exact recovery times can be flexible.

8 x 100 metre Strides (RPE: 8)
60 Second Recoveries
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.

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

Practicing goal pace is a key part of any training plan. The more miles you can get done at goal pace the more comfortable it will feel on race day.
