The 60 min Saturday might not be ideal so if you have time Friday to do that, perhaps bring that forward. But should feel like an easier week in the build up to Sunday with only 1 session and that’s ticked off early in the week. As for Sunday, another race that really should be treated as a training run. In the sense where not focusing on chasing times, but instead working at the right intensity to get maximum gains from the run. That takes away any pressure of running a specific time. So do your best and you cannot ask anymore. Any issues let me know but keep up the great work Andy.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
Recoveries: 2 Mins after the 1km Reps
90 Seconds after the 400 metre Reps
This is a great session to sharpen up your 10k pace and include a bit of speed work on the week of a 10k race. It’s light enough in that it should tire you out too much for race day, but give you confidence you can hit your pace later in the week. Good luck. Enjoy. Don’t try and run faster than your 10k pace though.
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.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
