Hi TheEd,
I had to take a couple of days off because I had a cold and was running a bit of a fever instead of my kilometers.
So my Saturday long run was the last one before today and I decided to pick up with the 6 x 1k with 60s with 60s of rest in between, which I was supposed to have done yesterday.
Here my times:
k1 3:43
k2 3:42
k3 3:43
k4 3:44
k5 3:45
k6 3:32
I ran them again on the track as you advised. The legs felt good, I think I could have gone a bit faster, but tried to stay close to goal pace (except for the last k). I ran on zero drop shoes, so my calves got a proper work out. I think I'll feel that tomorrow
!
I would be very grateful for some guidance on the following two issues:
Since I already had 3 (three! I feel lazy!) rest days, can I do an easy run on the rest day (day 11), or would that be detrimental?
Looking at my 5x2 and 6x1 and my current PB, what pace should I aim for in the 5k on day 12?, first 2.5 k in 10minutes and then go faster? Or even pace aimed at something between 19.30 and 19.10? Or faster?
All the best,
Will
