Sub 40min training advice please

[Determinator]

Hello Ed Thanks for your concern. However, ran 1 hour easy yesterday for Day 13 and 30mins easy tonight for Day 14 and feel much fresher. My legs do not feel heavy or ache going upstairs although they have felt heavy during the last couple of weeks. I think that I have had a virus in my system but do feel ready to do speedwork again. My running partner said tonight that he has been feeling tired in the last couple of weeks. We certainly feel that the weather has contributed to this. My heart rate monitor plays up repeatedly but was averaging 130 tonight on the easy run so thats a good indicator of better fitness. I do not know what my ideal resting hr is so I will look at doing that in the future in case of anymore problems.

Q1. What do you think about us doing a 6x1k and a 10x400m session Tuesday and Thursday this week seems the 10k race is not until Monday 31st? If you are ok with that what do we do on Wednesday and Friday or Saturday?

Q2. We are both concerned about how much running in to the wind and side wind affects our running times. As we live on the flat we have to run in the wind quite often. How can we train for this?
Thanks
D
