I got a little tired by Sunday, but feel good overall. I did calf raises every day, but wanted to take a break from the training we've been working on. 7 weeks is a long time. I think I was getting a little burnt around week 5.

I'm going to just run that work 5K for fun. People at work are pestering me to relax...So I'm going to sign up for a 5K on the 27th.

This week I'm going to work some morning runs in and get back to the light cross training. I'm thinking about doing another week of higher mileage before getting back to speed work the following week.

Does that sound ok? That'll give me four weeks following your suggested maintenance plan.

3rd place overall male 19:19.057 - My GPS had me at 6:33.76, 6:44, 6:01.36 for 2.95M. I guess the course was measured on the center line of the road because I ran all the tangents.

Week: 23M

I have another 5K to run with work on 04/18. The course has a few hills so I think I need to do hill work over the next few weeks as well as a few longer interval sessions.

I took F off for the cramp and then the weather got really cold and windy and I was worried I was getting sick.

Week: 31M

I want to get the workout I missed over the weekend in this Monday and then follow this weeks schedule as you laid it out, but with the long intervals and long run switched. So I'll do 5 x 1000m Monday, 8M Thursday, and 3 x 1600m Saturday. Do you think that'd be a bad idea?
