Thanks TheEd
This week I improved my 6*1k from 3:37 to 3:34. I felt like I was putting in more effort compared to last time but my average HR across the 6 intervals is the same so I guess it was just the heat.
Added a 4th run in this week, a paced 5k on Saturday. I aimed for 3:47 as this is what the McMillan calculator gives me based on my last 5k. I finished the run with a 3:48 average with a max HR of 181, this is a little high compared to previous 10k HRs @ 5km so am wondering if I am more 5k fit than 10k fit at the moment. I think going forwards I will continue to do the 4 runs on week 2.
One thing I've noticed over the last 2 months is my 10k race pace & my 5*2k pace seem to be the same. Is this correct?
Upped the long run from 18k to 20k which takes my weekly mileage from 43k to 45k. I'll try & keep these constant for a while now as I'm worried if I keep progressing week in week out I'll just end-up injured.
