Weekly summary - 15 weeks to go

A cutback week in terms of mileage - I dropped the doubles - but it included a 5000m, my best age graded performance ever, and my hardest ever interval session 3 days later. I think a better way to do recovery weeks would be to keep the mileage but drop the intensity. Upping the pace in the summer months seems the traditional training pattern though.

Next week it's back up to 70 miles, the on up to 80 in the weeks after that!

Monday	5 miles	5000m 20:36 6:37/mile
Tuesday	6.9 miles	Gentle club run 8:30/mile 123bpm	Very warm evening
Wednesday	6 miles	Easy run 9:14/mile 110bpm	Glyco-depleted!
Thursday	8 miles	8*980m @ 5km pace 2-3mins recovery	Very hard session
Friday	5.6 miles	Easy run 9:23 110bpm
Saturday	6 miles	Easy run 9:03 115bpm
Sunday	16.5 miles	8:38/mile 121bpm 70%MHR	Ran 8 miles to join regular Sunday club run, so first half slow, second half much quicker
Total	54 miles
