I’m in a similar situation, although I’ve got 2 60 min tempo runs and 2 40 min easy runs in my Garmin plan, which isn’t as much as yours. I’m just going to do 3 more easy runs with the last one on Tuesday, as that feels ok to me.
I don't know the condition you're in or your weekly mileage to advise too much. I also run to distance rather than time. However, the progression run sounds good this weekend. I'd do the steady one Tuesday (very steadily) and a short (2 or 3 miles) speedy one Thurday or Friday and then you're set.
It does seem excessive. I would reduce the first tempo to about 40 mins, (there are a few good ones on NRC for around this time) and replace the 2nd with a 45 min very easy.
If I was training for HM on 25th my plan would suggest
Sunday (tomorrow) 70 mins easy
Monday: 20 min recovery or OFF
Tuesday: 45 min very easy
Wednesday: 6x1 min @ Vo2 w/ 2 min recovery (I'd just do a 30min NRC Tempo interval in place of that, easier to follow)
Thursday: 45 min very easy
Friday: OFF
Saturday: 20 min recovery
I've been following a few plans (taking in various bits but mostly the same - I hate hills) for about 6 months now and have had a few 10k, 10 - milers, HMs and a 3/4 marathon 2 weeks ago. I have a 10-miler next weekend and my last run of the year which is a 3/4 marathon 2nd Oct.
I have adjusted my training plans to tailor for the big runs and am following a marathon plan for the 3/4 in October where tomorrow will be a 2-hour easy long run.
I have been mostly tapering my long runs but sometimes mix them if I think I need to. This week has been a fast-running week (12th 50min did 9.56k, 13th 55 min very easy - 8k, 14th tempo NRC run fast repeat - that was tough but very good, 15th off, 16th 10k - 50.37, today off. I will do 3 40 min very easy runs and a tempo next week for the 10-miler next Sunday and 4 30 min very easy and a 15 min tempo the week after for the 3/4 HM.
Some people don't like plans, I used to just run and wore myself out because I was new to the game. But I find the plans great as they bring structure.
This is only my first year running and I hope to take on a few full marathons next year, so I think I will keep the plans and start them again from the beginning over the winter.
