Tips from Benny to keep in mind:
All runs should be conducted at an easy pace. The run is more important than fitting in all of the other sessions in the week so please make this training program work around you and your schedule!
Please ensure you are working at an intensity that your body can handle and represents your training level. This is about building you up for your race, not breaking you down before it. ALL sessions are scalable and weights should be challenging, but still ensuring correct form.
