Great start to week. You have a good goal now on the fartlek. It will be interesting to see how long you need to do it before change takes place.

Wednesday morning comment. Even though you are fat burning mostly at 138, you still need some sugar to work some muscle when fat is too slow. Clearly you are short of sugar from the higher level of work you have done this week. You have burnt most of it away a day or two early.

Nothing wrong with this but it can make the evening sessions really hard. I suggest that you are careful and when this happens again, keep thursday short and fast (like 20x50m) and possibly even rest thurday totally as well. But if you can, try to get through the last sessions at two thirds volume and effort rather than not do them at all.

That said be careful not to become run down or you will get sick and lose 3 weeks.

Good luck. Judge your rest and recovery well.
