Hey Ed,
I believe I'm recovered now. I also believe temperature had a saying in this, as we had a heatwave that kept midday temps around 34-35 deg C. It lasted from Wednesday up to yesterday. Today was a cool 21 deg C after raining last night; day 1 easy run felt super nice(see below)
Sunday I went for a medium-hard bike ride(mountain & road); 23km @ 140bpm avg HR @ 36deg C
Monday I had an 1hr easy run, 10.07km @ 5.58/km avg pace @ 149bpm avg HR @ 33 deg C
Tuesday(day 01 - today), 1 hr easy run, 11.07km @ 5.25/km avg pace @ 148bpm avg HR @ 21 deg C. I was shocked by the pace differences because running in lower temps... 30s+ while having the same HR avg... :wow:
For the 2k session this Thursday, should I do it like last time, first 2 x 2k @ 4.20/km and the other 4 x 2k @ 4.15/km? Or do all of them at 4.15/km? Temp should be around 25-27 deg C this Thursday.
