Thanks, I have been accused of being overly pedantic by some :laugh:!
Just a question. I hope this doesn't upset the balance of the training. I realized the race I entered for March (nice race, ran 36:22 last year) is on the 21st. Day 19 of the current cycle is the 14th, the 10km race on the 14th a long drive away, ~60km and is hilly, at least it's always been unless they change the route. The course description boasts "Looking for a real challenge? This route surely fits the bill as a worthy test of character and includes some tough hill climbing."
Just wondering how I can bridge the 7 day gap between the 14th and 21st? I'm guessing continue as normal at least until the 10x400s then what to do after that? I'm guessing if I'm not racing on Day 19 I wouldn't do the 6x1min, then also what would the session on Day 19 become, a fast long run or a progression maybe or just an easy run?
After 21st March I have races tentatively planned for 11th April (10km) and 3rd May (15km) which fall neatly into the three week cycles. Then since there are basically no race in May/June because of Comrades I was going to do the off-period and build-up from mid-May through to mid-June and look to start racing again in July.
I hope that all makes sense.
Thanks in advance
