Alright. But how good of a lawyer one can be if runs 16 flat? :D I mean, come on. Even for the gifted ones this takes a lot of dedication and sacrificing other aspect of life. (same for being a good lawyer and a fast runner) Don't sell me this BS full time mom AND businesswoman AND hardcore runner. Something's gonna give. Either you're not paying attention at home or work or you're crappy runner. You cannot have all of it. Nobody can. We all have the same 24 hours a day ;)

Not posting on letsrun frees up time for 40mpw… Most people have 90mins day. If spent it on social media , tv or running is up to you. Same thi ng with avoiding poor life choices like 45 min commutes.
Here is what her past week looked like in preparing for 10k later in July:
Monday easy 1 hour run
Tuesday 2x200 + 2x1k threshold at 3:25-3:30k pace + 2x1k at 5k pace 3:11/3:12 + 2x1k at 3:25 pace + 3x400 at 68 seconds
Wednesday Easy 1 hour
Thursday AM 6k easy Pm 6x5min threshold w/1 min recovery +4x100m
Friday easy 10k
Saturday 10min sub threshold + 10x200m hill + 10 min at threshold
Sunday 21k easy
Training doesn't need to be complicated, just consistent. 65 miles for the week.
Is she still running 3:25-3:30 pace for the longer thresholds? You mentioned a 6k threshold in the OP and I believe a 15min threshold as part of a workout on another day.
