I’ve tweaked it slightly this week to give you a bit more rest after Worthing hence moving the main session to Wednesday. I like the idea of doing parkrun too as you’re more likely to push that bit harder in the pack. Any problems let me know.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

A good 10k session. See if you can run that 2nd mile quicker than the first. Push the pace on the 60s to get more from this session.
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
