RE: Running the open fields, zone 2

that little strava detour before a zone 2 day made me smile. Those 4 x 7 min a touch faster than marathon psace should click if you keep it controlled, nice sharpening without beating up the legs. On the nutrition tug of war, try a tiny steady deficit on easy days and keep carbs for quality sessions, it’s like earmarking cash for bills and defnitely helps you show up with energy. Week at 56 km already is solid, the open field miles sound relaxing too :)
