A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
I really feel like these shorter rep sessions are doing you wonders, allowing you to run at that quicker pace, which hopefully come Saturday will make parkrun pace feel much more comfortable. If conditions are good another chance to have a free hit at that PB. Still early in the plan so no pressure to get it, just do your best and keep making progress. Love where you’re at right now with your running. Keep it up Kirsty.

*reps/seconds on both sides
A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.
For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.
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.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate. Don’t forget your strides. Very important. 30-60 seconds recovery between strides.

A really good home workout for the arms and legs. If you are short on time you can superset the exercises. Do 2 back to back without the recoveries. Eg 15 squats, 15 bicep curls, 15 squats and so on….
