Hi TheEd,
Thanks for the feedback. Yes. You are right. I tend to think I need to be a workhorse to achieve good results. I am used to running 50-70 miles per week. I am working on changing my mindset. As I am getting older I find I need more recovery and I am starting to realize less can be more. Is that what you meant? I really want my times to improve & they haven't been so I think lack of recovery coupled with proper speed work might be the missing piece.
I will do as you suggest. 30 minute recovery run, then a 3k paced run on Saturday. Thanks for your help.
