60 Mins Run
Zone 2: Easy
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.
Slight tweak on the traditional plan with no Sunday run. You could swap parkrun if you prefer to do the long run. But loads of Sunday long runs coming up so might be worth a quick one Saturday. Let’s make this another strong week. Pts = Progress.

Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. RPE towards the end of each rep should be a 9 and pace will be towards the lower end or just under your 3k targets. Consistency is the key.
Trust your PT.
Always explain to your PT what else you are doing this week so they can adjust the session accordingly.
If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
