Hi TheEd.
Thanks for the full response. That has certainly put a cap on my thoughts of how I can up the mileage, I just don't need to right now. I'm now at about 35mpw on average having gone from 21 average the last couple of years, so a big change for me in the past 9/10 weeks since starting the program.
Certainly makes sense to maximise and enjoy the gains from continuing what I'm doing now. You must be proud to have supported some incredible runners over your career, the Doyle camp taking over certainly must make you grin from ear to ear! Would be great to learn more about your successes and your coaching career...next article?
I stuck to the 17:30 paced run a couple of days ago, came in at 17.26. it's certainly still a big effort hitting that time, but, easier. 17.26 was actually my 2nd fastest ever 5k time. Feeling good tho, stretching rolling strengthening all keeping the legs and body pain free and strong, beleiving more and more that on race day I could go sub 35 although still a lot of work to be done for sure.
