Hi TheED,
Thanks for the reply, and for the incentive. Also think that had to do
with the fatigue factor. I felt better than what i expected on the first 2 2kms,
that's why was a bit faster. But then, the legs couldn't really go faster.
Was also very though mentally as you see that you can't run as fast as you normally would.
For the weekend, it suits me more if i run on saturday the long run, as i am working 12hours sunday (shift worker), do you think that would be to early to go for a long run, would be saturday afternoon, more than 48hours after. Maybe try to run with a lower heart rate, rather than the 140-150 that i have been running.
Another question. I know that you structure the plan in this way for certain reasons, but what do you think about swapping the 1kms reps with the 5kms paced run?? only for the next week. I don't know if i can do it yet, but there are a fund raising run, 5kms, next tuesday, i could potencially do that and then do the 1kms on saturday. Of course, in a race, would be hard not going out faster than the plan, but at same time is a change from the routine, normally the quality work i do on my own.
