Good luck with it 👍 you've certainly got the miles in the legs and the pace judging by your shorter stuff so you've got it.
I felt good at the end of todays run and my form held without having to think about it and i didn't notice the endorphin pros on my feet they were great. In fact my legs and sometimes iffy right hip felt great i only had to concentrate on controlling my breathing and pumping my arms and didn't have to think about my stride it was just there. I think my rough patch was just down to my surge at 8-10k but at least i know exactly where my threshold pace is currently at as k's in the low 3:40's felt comfortable but the few i did in the high 3:30's felt a lot harder. I've just got to work out how to proceed with the plan now as I've just had an email confirming my first important race has been pushed back from the end of March until the middle of May and i won't be doing a half until June/July so i may take a break from the plan for March now and just enjoy some nice long days out on the trails and the bike now the weather is improving and pick the plan back up in April repeating block 2 and doing block 3 in May that way I should be race fit when actual races should be happening 🤞
