So, just thought I'd update with how this run through the cycle is going overall.
The 5x2 session felt really good - and nearly had it down to 4:00/KM. Gained 1 minute 11 seconds from when I did the session three weeks ago (40:36 vs 41:47); which means I should be able to go sub 40 on the 'important' cycle before the Half Marathon next time round...
Additionally, made my 2 hour run slightly longer (23KMs), as this will likely be the longest run before I hit the Half Marathon in five weeks time... Again, fastest mile was the last mile...
Am thinking between 3:50 and 4:00 for the 1K's on Tuesday - how does that sound?
