I have a long standing trail running group and we run about a 10K trail run every Sunday morning – it’s a moderately challenging trail and we’re running a pace that would normally be a slow zone 1 for me but, since it’s on the trails, my HR averages zone 2/3 (most recent was 23 mins in 2 and 43 mins in 3).
Thoughts on doing my long runs on Saturdays so that I can keep my trail run and counting the trail run as the Friday Foundation/Recovery run? Another option would be using it as my Hill Repetition Run (the ascent is 500 ft)?
Would appreciate any input and thank you!!

Given that the efforts on your group trail run are higher than a foundation run I would suggest having that run replace one of your harder interval sessions in the week.
