I think mentally just good to switch attention away from the mile for a week and focus on Sunday. A really good opportunity for a new PB. If you wanted to do a longer trail run on Friday that’s a possibility but it’s finding that right balance between rest and running, but I’m sure you will be fine. Any problems let me know but looking forward to Sunday.
Recoveries: 2 Mins after the 1km Reps
90 Seconds after the 400 metre Reps
This is a great session to sharpen up your 10k pace and include a bit of speed work on the week of a 10k race. It’s light enough in that it should tire you out too much for race day, but give you confidence you can hit your pace later in the week. Good luck. Enjoy. Don’t try and run faster than your 10k pace though.

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.

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
8 x 100 metres Strides (RPE: 9)
10km @ 10km Pace (RPE: 6-8)
2km CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Control what you can. The warm up, strides, getting the early pace right and staying positive when it gets tough. You got this!! If it’s a hilly route do your research.
