Hi Glenn, this time of year can be quite difficult to maintain a full blown training cycle, so the Build Up does serve a decent purpose now
what is recommended is to have a fast run at the end of this build up cycle, such as a 4k time-trial or something tempo related
as for your training towards the half, each athlete tends to be different, so after the next build-up cycle you can consider doing a 3 week 10k cycle to see how the body responds to the training and from this we can assess how you are responding and can further plan towards the future events.
The approach must be as experienced runner opening a new adventure
it should be fun

ps.. please ask questions for clarity
