Hi TheEd,
I hope you had a fun festive season.
I've enjoyed taking it easy with the running, sticking loosely to the off-period and build-up you suggest. This past Sunday I did my 4km time trial to see where I'm at. This was the first time I'd run fast since December and was pleasantly surprised with my time:
Time | AHR | MHR
03:45 | 172 | 183
03:45 | 186 | 190
03:45 | 191 | 193
03:33 | 194 | 199
14:48 3:42/km
From here I'll move on to the 2kms on Thursday. Does 3:50/km pace sound reasonable to start with?
My first race for the year is a 10km on 24 March, which I think is 7 weeks away so 2 cycles and 1 week.
