Week 9 and week two of aerobic short specificity, with a twist this year.  In essence, short, goal race pace efforts, with long recovery so the overall workout remains aerobic while getting to turn the legs over.  The key is to make sure you take long enough recoveries.  The second workout now is reps at 75-80% with a short recovery.  Continue with the short hill repeats or fast strides on Thursday, and S&C circuit on Tue and Fri.

Continue to adjust paces for heat and humidity.  The rest of your running for the week remains easy, 60-65%.

Tue - 12-15 x 200 hill repeats @ either 6k or 8k goal pace with ~2' easy rec
Fri - reps at ~Tempo (75-80%); w - 5-6 x 1600, r= 1' / m= 5-6 x 2000, r= 1'

Simple, but not easy.  Stay the course, be patient.
