Thanks TheEd,
re: Long Run Pace - yes, probably too quick. I was following the Run Less, Run Faster program through the winter and this was the pace they set for long runs for a 3 day a week schedule, 14 week half-marathon program based on most recent 10K race time. I imagine a 3 week cycle is based on different training approach and to be honest, I'm looking forward to varying the workouts more vs always running +/- 30 sec/km paces.
For the long runs, is it ok to run them on a hilly course or will that be too much? I definitely feel the hills are my weakness as I always get cramps in my hamstrings and quads when I'm on a hilly course.
I'll plan to recover the legs and blisters on my feet this week and start in on the program next week, will report back with data from my old friend/enemy, the 2K session
Nice to be back,
KK
PS: and yes, my brain knows I shouldn't race with a cold but when it comes to running it's tough to walk away from the start line regardless of how you feel Definitely paid the price on that one for the month after...
