An update...
I've been keeping at the build up program, but I must confess it has been difficult. Upping the miles, plus work and family life being very busy without much sleep has meant my legs have often felt tired and sore. I only skipped one day, day 16, because of a long workday...but I don't think I could have done it anyway from soreness.
Yesterday I did a slow hour that went ok (Day 17), and today's 5x8 minutes (Day 18) went well. The race I'm doing is June 25, which means I've got about two three-week cycles left before the race. Do you suggest going back to the sub 50 min 10K? Or continue with the build up?
And, do you want me to do a 4K time trial tomorrow, or take the scheduled rest day?
Thanks again for your willingness to help!
