how much do you care about the h/m? because if it's more than a date on the calendar then i'd say that's not enough running. maybe replace one of the cardio cross-training things with another easy run.

i'd also say, don't jump right back into 10k's. ease back into it.

and i'd also say, go get it.

Its more than a date, want to be as fit as possible till then and goal is to finish under 2 hours.
I hear you loud and clear. I guess the 3 lifting days is more because i finally have gym access after almost 2 years. But it can wait 1.5 month.
Or, i can transform one of those cross days accordingly. So instead of a normal 45 minutes lifting followed by 30 minutes stationary bike, i could do a quickie lift ( knock out some pullups and dips ) and then do 45mins to 1hr treadmill. (I insist on the gym because it is much more convenient in my schedule).
Oh well lets start and see how it goes.
Thanks!  :highfive:

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Easy run 7K @ 47:33 ( 6:47 pace )

As if i wasn't de-trained enough from 1 month since last run, i was also extremely sore from yesterday's squats and on top of that there was 90% humidity.
Lol absolutely horrible run, I'm surprised i even finished it.

Tempo run

3K slow warmup ( high 7s pace )
1500m @ 5:24 pace
1500m @ 5:35 pace
1000m @ 5:10 pace
2K ultra slow cool down (high 9s pace)

Intuitively expected tempo pace to land around 5:30. It did, it was just the pace that felt like tempo, not fast-easy, not all-out.
Used a shorter distance for the 3rd sprint to see if (how much) i can pick up the pace, that 5:10 was a nice surprise.

Still demotivating that this was so tiring, while in my top form i was doing 4x1500 @ 4:30. Oh well, gotta be patient, it will come along.
