Hi TheEd!
I read in your article about how the 3 sessions between the 2k and 1k interval days force the body to super compensate for the lack of recovery time. I managed to sneak in a 5th run for this week so that I will complete 3 runs between the 2k and 1k interval days:

40min easy - 5:21/km
Total distance: 7km
Monday is long easy day, Tuesday another short easy day and Wednesday the 1k intervals.
Another note, before this month the furthest I had run in a week was 5km, I have been roughly doubling my mileage each week (5k, 12k, 25k and 50k this week). I don't expect to increase weekly mileage any further over the next 8 weeks, but I think I've been lucky to avoid injury from to increasing mileage too quickly.
