Hi Matt and welcome
these are one set of forums where information overload is good
you mention that you are struggling to cope with the easy runs, what weekly mileage were you doing before starting on the programs, please?
you mention being active for 15 years, what kind of routine were you used to and what was your longest run?
if you have been reading other threads you will see that the strength of the programs are the quality sessions, so with that said we are able to shuffle things round to accommodate something else on your easy recovery days, be it cycling or swimming or even a simple walk.
The importance is to dedicate a time slot to achieve consistency
your quality sessions look consistent with achieving a 42 minute 10k however how far is your longest run?
where are you now in your training, just after the 1000's?
We can start working together towards the 10k next week and then we can reassess after that and see what can be achieved
sub 40 is a good goal
