Going great. Quads were a bit sore, I think from the downhills, but I seem to be recovering very quickly from runs, much quicker than I ever remember. On Monday morning I didn't feel like I had raced hard.
Did an easy 10km on Monday morning. Yesterday had to switch the double around, so I did the 75min in the morning and then a very slow 10km in the evening (5min/km pace, I hate running that slow!). This morning legs feel great. Planning on doing an easy 60 min this evening, then the 5x2km on Thursday evenining. I'm not going to increase the pace. I want to get to a point where doing 6:55-7:00 feels comfortable. Would rather emerge confident and comfortable than hanging on trying to hit 6:50.
You mentioned extending the long run by time. Should I stick to 90 minutes this weekend or add a bit more time to it?
Cheers
