Ouch!! :duh: Coach, I have just realized something that I guess no one also noticed before! I was checking what to do today and I saw that it should be a rest day after the 5x2000. Then the next day is the long run up to 1h30'. Then I thought that something was wrong since the long run is scheduled normally on the weekend. Then I realized what happened: yesterday I somehow forgot that the 5x2000 is done on Thursdays and I went ahead on Tuesday!!
As I did not run a race on Sunday I was not very aware of the longer recovery time left in between the race and the 5x2000 session and I guess that's why I forgot about this. So now I'm two days 'in the future' regarding my schedule :laugh:
I was wondering how to deal with this, I guess I should fill the days with 1h easy runs until Saturday's long run (may be a fartlek/hilly/threshold in between?), then re-sync with 6x1000 on Tuesday. I hope that I'm not missing the stimulus of the overload that comes with the tight 5x2k + Long run + 6x1K in a short period and may be missing the benefits, I guess it's not the case?
