Hello TheEd
I did three easier runs along the week, and now today (Sun) I did a long run, 14.2 km at a speed of around 5:50 per km on average. Considering the fact that roads were really icy at big parts of the run, I believe this was pretty much race speed effort for me. The run went quite well, the average HR was slighthly high at 159, but I think it will be even higher in the race in May so it was a good training run for me. In all, I also had no issues with the cold I had the week before, so I am ready for the heavy 4-week training now. Any special training action now or shall I just start from the beginning with the program? It is 6 weeks to my 21k now.
All the best,
K4m
