I’ve got you away for the weekend but snuck a cheeky 80 mins run in there on the off chance you can run whilst away. Two good sessions here this week, one at 5k pace and then a perfect workout in prep for next weeks 5 miler. The two easy runs compliment that well with some strength work to give us a very healthy target of 125!!! That would be epic if you can hit those numbers. It’s a big ask without any cross training so let me know if it feels too much. But I think you’re capable of doing it.

Likely your heart rate will climb as you run up the hills, so don’t worry too much about drifting into Zone 3 for the hills, try and keep the rest in Zone 2.

A good opportunity to practice 10k pace. Ideally done on a track. If you are new to interval training start off with 4-5 reps and slowly build up.
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.
