Hi Ed,
we are in the middle of a heat wave. Today 31c and the coming days will see that rise to 40c. Possible record temps here. Today I had to run at 11 AM (>25c) for my 5x8m at 75% (rested yesterday instead of today). Because of the heat I replaced the 2m easy in between with 2m resting/walking.
8:00 sessions:
1) 1.6k at 5:02
2) 1.61k at 4:59
3) 1.59k at 5:02
4) 1.63k at 4:55
5) 1.64k at 4:53
My HR was quite high I felt, for the first session 150-160 (est.) and for the remainder of the sessions 160-170 (est.). No problems maintaining pace though.
Tomorrow I will 'work the hills'. Could you give an indication as to what the effort should be running uphill? I'll make sure to run at the coolest time of day. The day after I'll conclude my build-up with 75m easy and after that the 4k time trial.
