Hi TheEd,
I had a great session this morning. I did the 3x5 min@5k pace with a 3 minute rest in between that you suggested. Here are the results:
1-4:16 per km
2-3:58 per km
3-3:56 per km
I did these on a bike path so the first one may have been a slight uphill & the last two a slight downhill. I tried to slow myself down on the second interval thinking it might be too fast but it felt good so I went with it. I have to say this is the fastest I have run a training session in awhile. I am grateful to have found this website with the training program and for all of your help. I am seeing improvements I haven't seen in a long time.
The duathlon planned this weekend most likely won't happen. It involves some travel & I am not sure I want to travel that far after a busy week at work.
I am going to try & find a race on Oct 20th which would line up with 3 weeks in between the other races I have planned.
If I don't do the duathlon this weekend should I do a time trial?
I plan on continuing to follow the plan this week with 40 min tomorrow & the 6x1 min workout Thursday, then rest on Friday.
I welcome your thoughts & comments.
Thanks again for all of your help & feedback.
