20 x 20" z 7 recovery 1' z 1
10' z 1

Pre-activity comments:
Make the changes in a strong climb and recover by walking down. If you want you can do it all going up and use the cool down time to do the whole descent in one go. Nothing happens if the total training time is lengthened.
If you can make more changes, make them until you reach muscular failure.

REST/JOKER

Take advantage of this day to rest completely if you have been able to do all the training sessions of the week or use this gap so that you can run the training sessions one day forward from the day you have not been able to train.
If you have done them all but you feel like going out anyway, do it but at a comfortable pace.
