Great week of training

Last weeks training nearly put me in the ditch . Started getting fatigued and wore out . Last weeks workouts was a 15 Miler @ 5:52 pace which the last 10 miles @ 5:45 . 8x2:30 hard 1:30 easy ( I cut rest down from my normal 2:00 ) then followed two days later with a 4x2 mile tempo @ 10:30 each ( pushed the pace which I shouldn't have ) . I was feeling dead the next day . Mayb I needed a week like that , mayb not . I was forcing myself to push beyond what I was capable of that week and leaving myself drained . I didn't reach my goal that Saturday in a 5k so and pushing my workouts . Always wanna feel like you can continue with a workout when you are finished with your goal workout that day but easy said than done for me . My tempo and fartlek left my bent over . With a 20 miler @ a slower pace (6:20) and 6x1k @ 4k pace left me feeling energized this week . Gate River Run 15k is this weekend . Goal is to win age division and see how I square up against the masters .
