if you do the 4k time-trial before you start the next 3 week cycle it will serve a a marker, then you do another build-up cycle and you can do the 4k again, to see how things are going
from my experience using the programs over the years, the athletes come back stronger and whereas they are not as 'sharp' they are stronger and when they do the 4k time-trial it is often a similar time to when they were doing speedwork
the return to the 2k session is tough however come the 1k session and the athlete starts moving to the next level
everything is progressive, however the secret is in establishing consistency
on we go
