Sometimes I spend too long justifying here why I’ve set the sessions I have. But you’re a numbers guy so I’ll be honest and the main reason is the points add up to, or are very close to your target of 120pts. That’s why the sessions are what they are. Obviously there are more than 1 way to reach that target, but we’ve got S&C, speed work, parkrun, easy run and long run. All the perfect ingredients for a good training plan. So I’m happy and not surprised you continue to make progress. Keep it up Ben, any problems let me know.
Always fun to train in a group. Ask for help if unsure on your technique on the exercises.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
Recoveries:
90s except for 1 min reps which are 60s
Really push that pace here, especially on the 2s and 1s. A chance to really improve your pace and bring that 5k time down. Let’s do this!

I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load.

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.
