We didn’t have the 5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2 in recently did we? In my head I seem to recall setting you that session. If so just let me know and I will swap it for something else. But all the perfect ingredients again this week. Speed work, long run, strength work, cross training, and it all adds up to 152pts. I think this is the highest we’ve gone, and with it likely to be warm again I’d be interested just to hear how you feel about this level of training. We want to be careful we don’t start edging over the red line again. You probably won’t notice much difference as the jump up is subtle. Keep up the great work Lou.
