2 fantastic sessions this week. The 3 x 5km is the last big one before Brighton. If it were me I would try and do that Saturday as then you can use parkrun as your last 5km rep and that makes it so much easier with others for company. Any issues let me know. But keep up the great work Michael. 141pts is a decent haul.
A challenging week personally helps me to focus in other areas like running to get the results I know I capable of, feeling strong in my running
That was a brilliant week. I think the way you are handling yourself in difficult circumstances is really inspiring. Just hope you and Josh get good news this week. He certainly deserves some.
Combining legs and arms into one session. Working the upper body isn’t essential as runners but it’s good to feel strong and it can help with technique. You can switch out some of these exercises for similar alternatives if you find it easier. Just be careful not to overwork the same muscle groups.

Quality 10k session. These are the runs where the magic happens.
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.
Combining both the legs and core into one good session can offer some good variety. Be sure to be sensible if you do change up any of your weights or use different exercises.
