5k fitness check question: Running 7 days/week, with SubT workouts M/W/F, long run on Saturday. Doing a 5k this Sunday. Not a special 5k, just my first standard NSM fitness check. Tips/protocol for this week?
Similar schedule to me. If it’s a race I usually drop the Friday/Saturday sessions and just do easy runs, with Saturday being a shakeout with some strides at the end.
Since you’re just doing a TT for the purposes of finding training paces it’s more realistic to train through. My vote would be to do 50-75% of Friday’s workout and ditch the long run.
In either case I drop Monday’s session and either take it completely off or do a shorter easy run.
