Dear TheEd
Thanks for your congratulations and wise words, injury at this point would not be good!
With this in mind I agree not to add any AM runs for the time being.
Can you clarify for me what you mean by focusing more on the recovery days? Do you mean make sure they are not too fast? I currently monitor this with my heart rate monitor, this means they are always at least a minute slower than race pace and sometime slow (even walking).
Also is the pace I suggested too much? I am willing to hold back if it means that I stay away from injury. My logic was having run a 37.26 (and now 3:40 for 5x2k) I could calculate times for a ââ¬Ësub 37ââ¬â¢ programme (which I calculate as 3:25 for 6x1k, 18:30 for 5k and 80secs for the 10x400m). To clarify are you suggest slightly slower would be better?
FYI - my race plans are this race in two weeks and then another three weeks after that. Then I plan to switch to recovery and build period before completing three more race cycles.
Thanks for your time, I find your feedback really helpful ââ¬â as I say injury now would not be good.
