so this training business is turning me into an emotional wreck, i'm either ill, injured or the training session goes to pot.
i decided to do the 5*2k after all. it went really badly wth an average pace of 3:51. Two weeks ago I did the 2k in just under 3:46 & my park run at the weekend went at 3:42 (i was around 3:49 average at 5k today & really feeling it). At 6k I was literaly on my knees during the recovery (ok an exaggeration but I was certainly leaning heavily on the track fence!) & was close to quiting, figured finishing with a bad pace was better than that though. i can only assume (hope) its the end of this cold. my left leg (which i now think is a knee problem) seems to have suffered a little but not massively (still no pain, just an odd feeling). i'll go for the long run on saturday but cut short if needed.
i've got a physio appointment booked next friday. i was going to continue doing cycles until december but thinking i might move to the build phase after this cycle if the knee problem doesn't resolve itself.
stats are:
Pace-----Max HR---Avg Run Cadence
03:43.9----175--------175.5
03:43.8----182--------173.2
03:49.6----182--------169.6
03:55.8----181--------170.4
04:02.4----177--------171.6
