Thanks 
Speaking of the off-period, how long do you recommend one stays on the cycles. I've done 2 cycles now. Plan from here is to do races on 11 April and 2 May, which is 2x 3weeks worth, so by 2 May I will have done 4 cycles. I had planned to take 3 or 4 days off running completely after that, then doing 2 weeks off-period, and following that up with the 3 week build-up so I can start a new 10km cycle on Tuesday 16 June. The logic behind that was that as you know May is taper month for Comrades runners, and our race calendar reflects this, so I thought May/June was a good time to squeeze in the build up. This puts me in line to plan some good races without disrupting the flow of the program. Having said that, is it worth doing more 10km cycles after 2 May or does my tentative plan sound okay, real life and other matters permitting of course
Cheers
