Tough session more than it had to be because of the wind down the seafront, would be great round a track. MP felt like a dream after 10k pace but guess that’s what the session is about. Worked hard felt good, but very difficult to keep the splits consistent due to the wind but happy enough. 2.10mi W/U included = 8.40mi total, mean man with no recovery between reps 😂 Let the HR come down then separate C/D home= 2.46mi. Total distance 11mi and a cheeky sub 40 10k in there. Think we may go over the 110% this week with tomorrows 18mi, didnt really want to do after racing Sunday, something to bear in mind for next weeks training.
Firstly, superb session. To chuck in a sub 40 10k is pretty filthy to be honest. So love that. In terms of the over training, just be careful. If anything starts to niggle then pull back. My ultimate goal is to find what is the highest level of training points each of my runners can achieve before they start picking up niggles. So it might be 200+ is possible for you, but we’ve not hit that ceiling yet. So whilst I’m wary you might be stepping over the line, all the time you feel good, I’m not going to hold you back too much. It does highlight though how an extra run or extra extra WU/CD can push you over the edge. But if you’re resting up well and refuelling your still training at level lower than a lot of sub 3 marathon runners would be right now. So in summary, be careful, but equally let’s keep rolling.
