Hey there,
Back from skiing injury free! Lots of alcohol and merriment over the past 10 days but have kept up consistent steady morning runs up to 1hr in the mountains.
Did a 20k run today (back at sea level) building pace in 5k blocks (5k@4:30, 5k@4min, 5k@3:45, 5k@3:30) and felt really great. In fact I did the last 2k in 6:30 and last 1k in 3:10, feeling completely at ease! I know you'll disagree but I can't help wondering if I benefitted from the altitude again...
Anyway - half marathon next Sunday. Any thought's on run program between now and then? I'm in decent shape and around 78kg. Was planning to keep steady running + maybe a 3x1600 session on Thurs?
Cheers,
Jamie
