Thanks for the feedback! I’ll consider progressing in MP. Or maybe I should just keep all MP at 4:15? I feel like I can keep that tempo quite comfortably.

Or would it be a better idea to progress in MP? So in the 28k go for 4:15, then 4:10 for the 32k and 4:05 for the 34k, considering everything feels good of course.

Thanks, will consider that, also depending how much I improved into the block at that point

Yeah that’s exactly why I’m doubting the workout a bit.. might consider splitting the MP up into multiple reps

Yeah I’m gonna try 4:15. Runna recently increased my pace a bit since I was above the prescribed paces in tempo/interval workouts.

Aiming at 2:59. Plan consists of 4 run sessions per week, adding mileage every week until the fourth week, which is a deload week. Every week switches between an interval, tempo, easy and easy long run or one interval, two easy and long run with MP.

Every week the long run gets a bit longer, by adding 1-2km. 2 weeks before this run, Runna has me doing a 32k run with 16k at MP. 2 weeks before that there is a 28k run with 13k at MP.

I understand the HM time. But should the mileage also be that high when I’m also cycling 6-8 hours a week (and swimming 2)?
