Hi TheEd/All,
Thank you for your response. You asked about my background and 4k.
Background
5 years ago, after 10 years of relative inactivity, I seen a picture of myself at 100kg. I started running but was mostly injured. I switched to forefoot running. As a consequence of this, or focusing on form, my injuries mostly disappeared.
Up until 2011 I was focusing on Marathon, but I found it a little boring.
In March 2012 I was running 13km in 1hr 10mins, but decided I needed speed, so I started interval training. I did too much and plateaued/ over-trained.
TheEd, the reason I enjoy your feedback to others is that you can see when users are over-training and encourage them against it.
I try to run 3 times a week, but with no easy runs. I try to bike as a replacement.
4k
At your suggestion I ran a 4k tt. I think I paced it well, as I would not have been able to run another 500m.
