the long run Saturday shouldn't be a problem
doing the 5k run next week is not a hassle either
however
swapping the 1000's for a 5k paced wouldn't achieve the same goal as what the 1000's are intended for
the duration of the 1000's works the energy system related to 5k speed
as an athlete progresses 'tempo' runs do certainly play a role however by then the athlete has developed accordingly
so you can certainly treat Tuesday as a 'tempo' run however it will not achieve the same 'training' as the 1000's would
Hope this is easy to understand
