for adaptation purposes, when you get the hang of the rhythm of the cycle we can look to increase speed
for instance, if you run with a heart rate monitor on, you can see what your long run tempo at the same heart rate is after the 2k session
if you are going quicker at the same pace then that is a positive aspect, and you can look to run the 1k session 5 seconds per k quicker
so bring it down to 4.00 to 4.05
if this all goes well and you get a decent run at the end of the cycle then you can look to push the 2k speed up
this will show overall development and the adaptation to the training is working positively
on we go
