sub 35min after marathon training

[derele]

Hi TheEd,

thanks for all the advice! My quads still feel too sour for the 5x2000 today. It is just this kind of sourness/tension that lets me know that the training works, not the "injury luring" sourness. I did no runs slower than 5min/km this week and I feel it adds up and my quads need some time.
Here is an overview:
Mon pm 18k @ 4:59
Tue am 6k @ 4:49 pm 14k@4:42
Wed am 6k @4:58 pm 18k@4:25
Thu am 6k @4:52 now to come 6k@4:5x
Fr am 6k @4:5x pm 5x2k @ 3:35

I know that this is much more mileage then recommended in the program, but this was one of the things I really want: more mileage!

I understand your point about the supercompensation effect. The cycle is aimed towards the next race and in this regard the 5x2000 should be today no matter if the last race was on Sunday or Saturday.
However as there are still more then 4 weeks till the next proper 10k I consider proper rest after the last race more important then build up for the next race.
