Thank you very much for your advice 
I have a doubt regarding what you said that the fartlek on the build-up will get me right to the faster speeds in the training cycle phase. Since my build-up is very short due to my calendar and I'll end this sunday with the 4K trial, I haven't scheduled any fartlek before the start of the training. Maybe I should do it Friday in the middle of the 75' run?
One other thing: It has been a sudden change of plans on my race calendar. The first race I wanted to do closed the registration process just in one week with 24.000 people and I've been left out!! :duh: That's insane what is going on here in Spain with running these days. So now, theoretically, I cannot enter the race. I guess this will be better for the start of the plan.
Now, I have a 3 week cycle without racing before the first planned race (so it fits nicely the end of one 3 week cycle and then race), but... do you think I'd better consider to include another week in the build up period to give myself more rest even if I have to race on the 2nd week between the 6x1000 and the 10x400 or is OK to leave it this way?
Sorry for so many questions!
