I think you'll feel better as a result.<BR/><BR/>Don't beat yourself up for "only" running a 4 mile tempo. A 6 mile tempo is a very long way (yes I know that I did one this morning). I think you are right that running a 5x1000m set followed by an up-tempo run is a bit much. I don't try to mix tempo and intervals into the same week. Instead, I do one or the other, usually on Thursday. Some folks do and it seems to work out OK.<BR/><BR/>There's nothing that says you have to run up-tempo during your long run, but if you're out running 15 to 20 miles you could always insert a couple of miles at your marathon pace somewhere in the middle. See how it goes for you. Move up to a faster tempo, get into your grove and motor along a little faster for 17 or 18 minutes, before you settle back down to your "I could run forever" pace.<BR/><BR/>Good luck tomorrow. I hope you get your energy back quickly.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350841837453498786noreply@blogger.com
