unfortunately with running (in particular) getting the consistency right creates confidence and a good setting for all training and performance. So when this training rhythm is thrown out the athlete needs to rely on the mental aspect of balancing everything despite the person feeling out of 'sync'
so use this as a learning experience to maintain a positive outlook despite poor results at the moment .. look forward .. if you have a solid 5 x 2000m session, this is the session you must build you confidence on
good sleep patterns and nutrition then allow for you to use the training you doing. Day 3 to Day 8 is the most important period of the program
so after Day 8 onwards remain focused on staying positive as you have done the necessary work
hope this isn't too long

ps.. sounds exciting about the Olympic torch activity
