Hi Ed
Just had a really good 2000s session: target 8:12 / circuit, actual 8:08 av; comfortable heart rate [note: incline on 1K repeat circuit, so the time is a bit better than it looks].
In contrast to my training in the spring I was strong at the end of the session and my last 2 circuits were my fastest. This is what I am looking to build on and I think is as a result of doing some longer runs (a relaxed half marathon (including training) and slow but hard 10 mile trail run).
What speed/heart rate and distance would you recommend for the long run to help build on this endurance strength??
Many thanks
Matt
