Back with some more questions 
I did the long run on Saturday. As written in advance, it was difficult to keep HR low enough. However, I`m not sure whether the long run is supposed to be just as easy as the easy runs? I ended up with this:
17 k
1 h, 36 min
(5,40 min/k average pace)
Av. HR 156
Max HR 181
325 meter incline
187 meter reduction
(quite hilly)
weather was warm for Norway this time of year (23-25 degrees C)
it was difficult to keep HR around 140. I felt I wanted to "test" my long run pace capacity a bit more, with regards to the 21 k race coming up June 8th.
In the end, I think the 21 k distance should be doable for me in 1.30-1.40... this is though a rather hilly 21 k we talk about: http://www.birkebeiner.no/Global/Kart/L%...t%20ny.pdf
For now: I put in an extra rest day yesterday, because of extremely hot weather and I was a bit tired in legs.
Today I`m a bit unsure what to do. Either an hour of easy running or 1,5 hour of cycling maybe. Tomorrow the 5 k race. Saturday the 10 k race.
So as you see, a bit difficult to stick to the schedule at the moment.
The 6x1 k I could have done today, but lack the opportunity of doing it on a track or treadmill. And also not so sure if it is the best thing day before 5 k
race. :mmm:
Anyway: Feel that things are good at the moment.
All the bests!
