If doing this the week of a 5 or 10 miler, look to hit specific target pace for the mile reps, rather than 10k pace.
I may do an efforts session Monday, watch this space. That would bank some extra pts and mean you could reduce the 90 min run. Sunday is a race should head into with a lot of confidence as you are running really well right now. I’ll put a post out about pacing and will depend on the forecast and wind, but whatever is thrown your way you can do yourself proud again. Keep up the great work Lou.

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.
5 miles is a really tough distance to get right. Rest assured, this is tough. The first mile is so important, don’t go off too quick and you’ll set yourself up for a strong race. Pace should be right at the top of your Zone 5, 10k target. Towards the end you’ll be working in Zone 6 though from an RPE and heart rate perspective.
