Quick update.
5x2k on Thurs (Track, 18deg, 8mph wind)
6:56
6:55
6:54
6:52
6:45
Obviously not a fast session, but I was pretty pleased with these. Tried to keep them as relaxed as possible and get a little faster each time.
On Saturday morning I then did 5k easy (4:30 pace) into 15k at marathon pace (averaged bang on 3:46 per kilometer). The last 5k into the wind was a little harder to hold pace than I'd have liked but certainly felt smooth for the rest of it.
Still a little on the heavy side but I'm off the chocolate/sweets so hopefully can gradually edge towards race weight over the next 12 days.
