10k race in 6 weeks, trying to set goal

[EBFM]

Thanks TheEd,

I feel like I'm always getting a better feel for the cycles. But I could use some clarification on backing off at the right time. Do you mean in response to illness/injury, or in some aspect of timing for peak fitness?

My general approach is pretty simplistic, which is to try to improve my performance in the quality workouts each time through the cycle.

Cheers
