A busy week with 4 runs but no long run this week which is nice. I know you don’t like the Tuesday efforts but ultimately that is the key session. The one which will really make you a better runner. If you do that each week alongside the other work it will transform your running across all distances. So stick with it, i’s worth it. Any problems let me know.
Bit of a wobble with the foot in the middle of the week but other than that all good 👍
No worries, important to listen to the foot as we don’t want to make it worse and end up needed weeks off. So I appreciate there might be some missed sessions from time to time. Overall though solid stuff, so well done Stacey.

Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.
A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.
Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

80 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
