Did the 5K in exactly 22:30 on Saturday, and it felt very easy, and I certainly felt as if I could run it minutes faster - as was holding myself back a lot, especially in the first 2K, before stretching my legs a little more in the final 3K. Did a 1 hour at 11PM this evening, again, trying to miss the heat! Felt very good again, legs are feeling very strong, and I'm feeling a lot more 'racey' than I have done recently.
With the race still 12 days away (2nd August), what should I look to do this week? Run through the final week of the cycle as if the race were this Friday?
Further to the above - ran 30 minutes on Monday and did a 3 x 5 minutes at race pace, with 60 seconds rest today - as per the 45-minute training plan. Felt very good doing the 3 x 5 minutes today, still held some back and felt like I could've gone much faster. Feeling in a very good place, all very good
Should I continue the schedule as is for the moment (hour tomorrow night, rest on Thursday), and then wait for your opinion on what to do for the week before the race on Friday 2nd August?
