Do you eat red herrings ?

Do you spend most of your time on the web typing with one hand?

Only when I'm doping.

Anyway its winter where you are; you'd get much better bang for your
buck if you did some long (15-20min) sub-threshold intervals and then
later start to throw in some shorter (3-5 min) VO2 max intervals and
maybe a smallish helping of anaerobic intervals closer to the race.
