Need to remember that my 10km pace isn’t quite what it was a few months ago. 10km reps should’ve been close to 6:30’s, but they were too fast, which contributed to not finishing the 5km reps. However, a lot of positives to take from that: doing a speed session just 10 days after Longbridge being one of them, and getting out there at a time of the morning when most people are in bed is another. I’m busy this evening, so I needed to do it this morning, and I probably would’ve completed the session if done later
This came up on my Strava feed and the first thing that entered my head “when the F**k did he do this?” knowing you ran yesterday too. Then I saw the time and was instantly impressed. No worries about the pace or the missing reps. Right now we just want to keep that pace in the legs from time to time but without getting injured. So all cool. We will always lose some speed when focusing on the longer stuff, but we can soon get it back for the summer months if need be.
