Thanks So far so good, looking forward to having more time to myself now, for everything, training, friends and most importantly family!
Just to clarify regarding the training, after two blocks each of 4x of the 10km cycles, while I enjoy the 3 week structure, I'm feeling a little bit jaded with the high volume 2km session and would like after the build up to do a couple of cycles of not having to think of that session and work at faster paces but still with a similar flow of workouts. I like how the program flows towards race day but honestly I dread the 2km session at the moment, even though I get through it fine. After my proposed build up, it's only 8 weeks to the mile race and I think I would mentally benefit over such a short period with faster, dare I say more fun, lower volume sessions. After the mile race I'll look to get back to the 10km 2km>1km>400m structure again to prep for races in the new year. I hope that makes sense.
