A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
Another quality week. A session at quicker than 5km pace, one at target pace (although I reckon you can nudge under). TWR with the gang and a long run to look forward to. Keep being awesome and smashing your training. Any problems just shout.

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.
RPE is the best area to focus on, 3-4 effort for the easy 30s and then push 7-8 on the quicker 30 seconds.
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.

Classic session. Super simple. The end result being you have a better understanding of your current time for a 5K. Work hard and ideally finish each rep a few seconds quicker than your current 5k pace.
Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.
