I've been going ok. The average pace of my easy runs over 6 weeks has been, most recent last: 11:44 10:30 10:13 10:13 9:55 11:16 in the 9:55 week, some of those were 9:30 pace. I struggled with 2hours 30, so stayed at 2:30 the following week then I did 3 hours yesterday. Up until today, my runs the day after my long run have been fine, then I end up with a piece of shite like today I think I agree with Johnny on the aerobic base. I could well be being hasty. I was improving but then to go so far backwards is pretty sickening. |

James, virtually all my fast 5k times have occurred two weeks after an Ultra. Going long is good.
