Discussion: Nice plan

Why are you doing hard intervals so close before a time trial that you'd like to perform well at? Is there some logic to this or did you just decide that you need to do some VO2max intervals, and thursday is the only day you can fit them in?

800m intervals 2 days before a 3000m time trial does seem a bit taxing... Maybe shorter intervals (w/ full recovery) at 3000m pace, just to get the body in the right mindset.

You raise some good points. I haven't actually done any intervals yet this year, and I suppose two days before a time trial is not the best time to start. Given that I want to do some longer runs for their psychological benefits in anticipation of the half marathon, I may revise my week to just the threshold intervals.
