So, the plan for Saturday's 'race day' is to either do the 5K hill course I have at home - which I did at the end of the first cycle, or to do a 4K time trial on the track. Happy to do either, just wondering which would be most beneficial? I'm leaning towards the 4K time trial as I really feel ready to attack something fast :-P
Once I've done this, I have 22 days until the Half Marathon; and obviously a 21 day training cycle - it has worked quite well for me starting the cycle on the Tuesday. What's the best way of stretching the cycle to fit? Would it just be to add an extra 1 hour easy run between the 10 x 400M and the 30 minute easy 6 x 1 fast session (days 16 and 17)?
