I am joining a mile race around the end of August, I started my base building of only easy and long runs on March 16th. I added strides in week 3 and added 2x12min threshold + 2x3 min threshold in week 5. Now I am at week 6, I am wondering if I should still do threshold. I am wondering if I could run threshold at this stage and if I could do an hour run to just confirm this is my threshold pace and not interval pace.
My plan is to slowly add in these steps: Easy/long runs-> Strides -> Threshold -> Repeats -> Intervals -> Mile pace sharpening.
