Hi TheEd,
5x2K and 6x1K - I'll look to stick to the 4.30/k for the 5x2K, and 4.20/k for the 6x1K for the next 5 weeks, so I can get used to the cycles again and the step up to 1hr runs.
Maintaining the 1 hour runs - this should be ok, as I will be having a couple of lay-ins each week (so lack of sleep wont be an issue, as it has been previosly) due to rest days and running the intervals in the PM, keeping them at 140bpm should also make them managable.
2hr run - Well for the first 5 weeks shall we just keep this at 90mins so I can adjust to the 1hr easy runs and re-introduction of the intervals, with a view to moving up to 2hrs in the new year.
Like you say, no need to overload, especially with it being winter (and all the associated bugs that do the rounds). If I can get through to the new year in decent shape and having run a couple of good races (on the 16th and 31st Dec) I'll be happy and can then crack on.
Cheers
