Observations: Well, I certainly didn’t stick to plan.  Last week I said I wanted a step back week from an intensity perspective.  With all of the progression runs thrown on top of intervals, this was one of the more intense weeks I ever experienced.  On top of that, I ran 5 consecutive days last week.  Even worse, I completely slacked on core exercises.  Shame on me!  I’ll get it into gear this week.  My 10k is fast approaching so it’s time to buckle down.  All that said, I feel good (outside of a little quad soreness).  My confidence is improving as my performance does too.  I want another strong week.  Like a 5k, I don’t think you taper per se for a 10k, but I don’t believe fitness will be a problem for that particular race.  I want to make sure I rest the legs plenty in the days leading up to April 3rd.  Going sub-7 for a 10k is big and will require running smart and being rested.
