Thanks ED,
I will try and relax into the session Thursday then if I can just pull myself through it without wanting to bail will be happy. I think this has been my weakness for a while now so its time to toughen up and get through the session. I did consider running doubles as prescribed on the forums but feel that might leave me jaded as its quite a lot more running involved. Maybe best I adapt to the speed work first before adding volume to it. I would say that a good week is around 35-40 miles per week which is low really so feel content that I can up my game on that score. I think the pieces are starting to come together. After playing around with some heat adjustment calculators indications show that I am in better shape then the clock shows really. Tricky balance now to train at the correct adjustment. To run sub 35 minutes in this heat spits me out at 33 min 10k in cooler climates if its correct. Just as a point of interest the top end Thai runners run around the 32 minute mark but have PB of 13 minutes on the track for 5k in cooler climate. Left with a lot of thinking really that I should run a race back home and see what the honest gap is .sorry I wrote an essay but like to type a few thoughts up as we go over and out.
