I need to further adapt to my new paces so instead of a 4k time trial I did a 20 min threshold/tempo run on a hilly loop with some easy running before and after. It went like this:

20 min @ 4.36/km. Avg. HR: 158. Max HR: 167.

Well, today i went for a totally easy 60 min run @ 6.40/km and an avg. HR of 127, if that might give you an indication of how the longer runs are going. Other than that, I'm only doing the one long run after the 2k session per cycle.
