I’ve tweaked the schedule to include 3 runs which see you hit the pts target. A nice blend. We have some hills with strides to inject a bit of pace into the legs. Friday’s speed session is great practice for the handicap race. See if you can hit 5 mins and under for the 1km reps. I like finding a loop which I can run. If you have a few niggles even doing this around a field is not a bad idea. Then the longish run at the weekend. Any problems just let me know.

8 x 100 metre Strides (RPE: 8)
60 second recoveries
A chance to really focus on exaggerating perfect running form. Best done before a session or after an easy run. Not a sprint. CLICK HERE for more details.
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.
2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
6 x 1km @ 5K Pace (RPE: 8)
2 Minute Recoveries
2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A simple effective session for runners striving for a 5K PB. Focus on trying to hit goal pace.
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.
