Hi TheEd,
I believe I should go easy this week as there were signs that I was tired last week.
First sign was during the long run. The 1k session was great but I felt my left calf and tired Thursday afternoon (had a 40min easy in the morning). Saturday night had my paced session, left calf was fine before it. As I believe Iôll be ready for a sub41 by the end of the month, I ran 5K in 20:20 but it felt tougher than it was supposed to be. And the left calf got tight again.
Sunday morning went for an very easy bike ride with the wife (1h, 17km, 112bpm). Felt good all day.
Overall feeling today is that Iôm not tired as last week.
So, I was thinking of skipping the fartlek sessions (I was doing 3x5min instead of the 400m session and 6x1min as a pre-race session) and run only 3 easy runs (30-40min) before the 5k race Sunday morning.
What say you?
