There is the Spring 5K on Wednesday if you fancy that? We can easily fit that in. Monday I plan to do a session in the evening (I’ll be running too so a freebie) and will invite anyone who fancies joining. Would be a nice way to finish the bank holiday weekend. Any problems let me know, but another solid week on the cards. Keep up the great work Philippa.

A real opportunity to work on both speed and good running economy. Train faster to race faster. Love 200s. Go get ’em!
A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.
I’m a big fan of consistent splits. With any race avoiding getting swept away with the crowds is key, so focus on that early pace and hold back, settle into a rhythm. Km 4 is often the hardest, so zone in on 4 and dig deep. You got this!

Recoveries: 30-60s. If time is limited then do 2 exercises together and remove the recoveries.
*Each side (double the reps). So 2 x 30 second Side Planks = 4 in total (2 on each side).
