Hi TheEd, nothing much to report. I am in a the build up phase.. but honestly just running as, when, and what I feel. So something like Day 1 9-10km rolling (working the)hills, Day 2 4-6k easy jog, Day 3 rest, repeat. The 10k route is my favourite for sure.
As for the issues coming back from vacation, I am wondering whether something mechanical is causing my slower easy-pace runs to be inefficient. The reason being that yesterday in my 10km rollings hills I ran the last 5km as a 5km PB 21:42. Somewhat downhill but I'd just run 4km uphill to get there. So at pace I'm feeling fine HR seems where it should be. At easy-pace (5:15-5:45) HR is elevated.
Other than that I feel fine and will continue this 3 day repeat for my build up I think as I enjoy it and it worked great the last time I used it as a build up.
thanks
Nik
