Hi Ed,
just finished my last training in the build-up to the next cycle. I feel ready! I've been running for 5 weeks again. I completed 16 runs, 109 km.
11 easy runs +/- 5:25 km
5 interval sessions, making good progress on my speed.
Today I did the training you suggested, which was a nice one.
2.5 km easy
10x400m avg. pace 4:18 km (pretty even speed throughout)
2.2 km easy
Now Wednesday and Thursday 2 easy runs and then the 4x2km. For this session, I think I can maintain a pace of 4:45 for 2km. Would it perhaps be better to do 4x1200m at a faster pace, since my aim is eventually a lot faster than 4:45? Or is it important to do the full 2k.
On to June 23rd, race day!
