The past two weeks have gone excellent! I increased my iron intake (which was low a few weeks ago) and have been able to hit some key workouts since. Looking back to my previous training workouts, the 16mile tempo was over 90 seconds faster than I did it in 2014. I've made significant improvements even within this block as I averaged 5:12 for the 3x3 miles on Feb 25, then 5:15 for the 3x4 miles on March 25 and now 5:09 pace for last week's 3x5 mile (April 9). The 3x5 mile MP interval set was the fastest I have ever averaged for any MP intervals. In 2014 I was able to manage 5:15 pace for 4x4 miles and ended up having a great race 3 weeks later. With all the reps, I've also payed close attention to my average and max HR to make sure I'm not over training and staying within my aerobic ranges. I've kept my AHR around 158 for most of the intervals and tempos. Looking ahead, in the next week, I will take a bit easier on training as there really isn't much ...
